About The Event
Gatefield Health Summit is an annual strategic gathering for public health leaders and experts. Our summit brings together stakeholders from government, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector to shape the agenda for health and explore innovative solutions.
Beyond65 by Gatefield Health Summit will build on the progress made in the inaugural summit which is to draw greater attention to the silent epidemic of non-communicable diseases which represents 74% of global deaths, with people from low-and-middle-income countries disproportionately affected. Most people in the global south die from NCD-related diseases before they turn the age of 65.
