Addis Ababa: WHO expects over 800 at emergency medical teams meeting

WHO announced on 2 November 2026 that more than 800 participants from over 100 countries are expected at the global emergency medical teams meeting, scheduled for 3–5 November in Addis Ababa.

It is the first edition in WHO’s African Region. The programme covers financing, care standards and deployment readiness.

These teams support health systems during disasters, conflicts and outbreaks. The figures are attendance expectations rather than a count of participants already present.
