Following the success of the inaugural Health Summit held by the EU-ASEAN Business Council (EU-ABC) in 2021, the EU-ABC Health Summit will return to Kuala Lumpur in 2025, aligning with Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship. The 2nd EU-ABC Health Summit will aim to provide a platform of discussion to address rising healthcare challenges in the region, particularly the rise of non-communicable diseases and addressing an ageing population across ASEAN Member States. Sustainable healthcare financing will be a key discussion topic as it offers a promising approach to addressing these challenges by expanding fiscal capacity and improving the current healthcare system.

In 2025, the summit will explore two key themes: Sustainable Healthcare Financing and the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) model. It will examine actionable solutions that mitigate vulnerabilities, ensure sustainability, and digitise health ecosystems. These discussions will emphasise how Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can help drive innovation and efficiency in healthcare delivery. The event will gather Health leaders, policymakers, and other stakeholders to shape a more accessible, inclusive, and responsive future of healthcare in Southeast Asia.
