Luxembourg Deepens Health Push with Major WHO Pact

Luxembourg has significantly strengthened its role in global health by signing two new strategic partnership agreements with the World Health Organization (WHO), pledging substantial funding to support international health goals and preparedness initiatives.

The largest of the agreements is a €46.5 million Strategic Partnership Framework with Luxembourg’s Ministry of Development Cooperation, which is set to support priority areas such as crisis readiness, reducing health inequalities, tropical disease research, and polio eradication until 2028.

In addition, Luxembourg’s Ministry of Health and Social Safety has committed a €1 million multi-year voluntary contribution, enhancing the country’s support for WHO’s mission to promote health equity worldwide. Luxembourg’s leaders say the funding underscores their commitment to multilateralism and global solidarity, reinforcing the nation’s long-standing collaboration with WHO as it works toward universal health coverage and stronger health systems.
