La Consultation TraumaCare, du Service de psychiatrie de liaison et d’intervention de crise, propose des rencontres d’intervisions en psychotraumatologie.
Les séances d'intervision s’adressent aux professionnels et professionnelles de la santé, notamment des psychiatres, des psychologues mais également des médecins d’autres spécialités confrontées, dans le cadre institutionnel ou privé, à la prise en charge clinique de patientes et de patients souffrant de troubles psychotraumatiques.
Chacune de ces réunions offre une opportunité précieuse de partager des connaissances et de présenter les dernières avancées scientifiques dans le domaine de la psychotraumatologie. Elles sont aussi l'occasion idéale de se réunir, d'échanger et de discuter autour de cas cliniques dans un environnement propice à l'apprentissage et à la croissance professionnelle.
In recent years, China’s innovations in the healthcare sector, particularly in medical devices and pharmaceuticals, have grown significantly. With its rapid advancements in innovative medical technology, China is emerging as a key player in addressing global health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Many LMICs continue to face structural barriers such as insufficient healthcare infrastructure, limited availability of affordable treatment and diagnostic tools, and a rising burden of non-communicable diseases. In this context, China’s expanding capacity in medical innovation offers an opportunity to explore new pathways toward more sustainable and inclusive healthcare solutions.
This session will convene a diverse group of stakeholders—ranging from representatives of China’s innovative health technology sector to development partners, healthcare professionals, and policymakers—to examine the current landscape of Chinese medical innovations and how they could contribute to addressing health challenges in LMICs. Discussions will focus on the drivers and barriers influencing the adoption of these technologies in developing contexts, and examine the policy frameworks and strategies that can facilitate equitable and effective integration into global health systems.
The past decade has seen notable progress in the fight against malnutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding rates have risen to nearly 50%, 40 million fewer children suffer from stunting, and wasting has slightly declined. However, major challenges remain: 148 million children are still stunted, 45 million suffer from wasting, and anaemia affects nearly one in three women globally. Malnutrition remains a leading factor in 45% of deaths among children under five.
Climate change, conflicts, economic shocks, and the COVID-19 pandemic continue to worsen food insecurity and nutrition outcomes. In 2023, 733 million people faced hunger—152 million more than in 2019—and over 2.8 billion could not afford a healthy diet.
Momentum: The WHO recently extended the Nutrition Decade to align with the 2030 Agenda and maintain high-level commitment. Building on this momentum and the over 400 commitments made at the 2025 Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit, the Geneva Health Forum and its partners are organizing a high-level session on nutrition.
The Geneva Health Forum will provide a plateform to present the outcomes of the recent Nutrition for Growth (N4G) summit, successes and challenges from countries involved in the fight for better nutrition and a proposition of an initiative to support nutrition efforts on the Geneva International platform introduced. This session aims to strengthen cross-sector collaboration and ensure nutrition is firmly placed on the global health agenda.
Climate change is already reshaping the world’s health landscape. This session brings together leading actors to move beyond discussion and into action, showcasing concrete solutions from the field and highlighting urgent challenges that demand collective response. As the World Health Assembly gathers in Geneva, this session aims to build momentum by connecting communities of practice and sparking collaboration.
Through storytelling, real-world cases, and a commitment tree to foster ongoing partnerships, we invite you to help scale what works and co-create the future of climate-resilient health systems.
Migration is often framed as a challenge—but it’s also a powerful driver of diversity, innovation, and resilience. This session calls on stakeholders to shift the narrative, recognize migrants as agents of their own health, and co-create inclusive solutions. In the context of the World Health Assembly, we’ll elevate lived experiences, foster dialogue, and seed new collaborations. Through participatory roundtables, we’ll tackle shared challenges and explore practical responses in mental health, research, and community leadership. Together, we can build momentum for dignity-based health systems that leave no one behind.
Climate change is not just an environmental crisis; it is a public health emergency. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and shifting disease patterns are placing unprecedented stress on health systems and disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Strengthening adaptation and resilience is now essential to safeguarding human well-being.
This symposium brings together global experts to advance international cooperation on climate health, moving beyond crisis response toward proactive resilience-building. Key themes include climate health ethics, planetary health, and the interconnected well-being of human populations and the planet itself. Through discussions balancing scientific rigor with real-world implementation, the event will explore advanced meteorology modeling, effective early warning systems, health co-benefits of climate action, and strategies from emerging AI-driven health surveillance to community-based adaptation—ensuring no population is left behind. By fostering collaboration across organizations and regions, the symposium will provide a platform to integrate health into climate adaptation policies, offering tools to measure health outcomes in local contexts and achieve shared goals for a resilient future.
Community health is a cornerstone of universal health coverage, health equity, and sustainable healthcare systems. As the world grapples with aging populations, urbanization, and digital transformation, new approaches are needed to integrate medical and elderly care, align healthcare and disease prevention, and modernize community health systems.
This session brings together health policy experts, practitioners, and international partners to explore China’s evolving community health strategies, with a focus on Minhang District. Since the 1980s, Minhang has pioneered innovative models—such as cooperative medical services, a three-tier prevention and care system, and the barefoot doctor model—which have since evolved into key components of China’s healthcare landscape. Today, these models underpin universal health insurance, family doctor services, and digitally enabled primary care.
Representatives from Minhang’s government, hospitals, public health institutions, and universities, alongside colleagues from Fudan University, the Shanghai Institute of Major Infectious Diseases and Biosafety, the University of Geneva, and international organizations, will share experiences and examine pathways for integrating care, prevention, and digital health in community settings.
This session aims to foster international collaboration and contribute to the advancement of resilient and inclusive community health systems globally.

Dans le cadre de son deuxième cycle de mini-conférences sur le thème : Innovations en implantation, le Laboratoire de recherche et implémentation en Soins (LRIS) de la Direction des soins vous invite à la conférence du 16 juin 2025. Les mini-conférences du LRIS visent à promouvoir et à partager les dernières avancées et innovations dans le domaine des sciences de l’implantation à l’hôpital.
Cette quatrième et dernière conférence du cycle est intitulée : "Rôles de l’infirmière de liaison et de l’infirmier clinicien spécialisé au sein d’un itinéraire clinique de réadaptation gériatrique" et sera présentée par Paul Brizard, infirmier clinicien spécialisé à l'iMAD.
La transition entre hôpital et domicile est une période critique à risque pour le patient et ses proches ; notamment dans le cadre des soins gériatriques de réadaptation. Gérer cette période implique la mise en œuvre d’un continuum dans la prise en charge du patient faisant appel à l’expertise de toutes les parties prenantes. La présente étude s’intéresse à l’implémentation des rôles de l’infirmière de liaison et de l’infirmier clinicien spécialisé dans ce contexte.
