WHO’s health emergency appeals consolidate WHO’s response priorities and funding requirements for the protection of vulnerable populations affected by acute and protracted health emergencies around the world.
Supporting the WHO’s Health Emergency Appeal is a powerful act of global solidarity, helping us defend the fundamental right to health and safeguard communities worldwide, no matter the crisis.
Across the globe, WHO has repeatedly demonstrated that, when funded, it can reach people in need, save lives and make a real and lasting difference.
WHO's Health Emergency Appeal 2025
In 2025, WHO urgently needs US$ 1.5 billion to respond to 42 ongoing health emergencies. This support is essential to safeguard the world's most vulnerable communities in the greatest need.
Due to the unpredictable nature of health emergencies, the Appeal is a snapshot of projected needs for all the emergencies that WHO is currently responding to. As new emergencies arise, WHO also issues dynamic flash appeals, enabling rapid response to specific crises.
