The World Health Forum mourns the loss of The Honorable Kofi Annan, an international statesman of unparalleled dignity and respect

Organizers of the World Health Forum are devastated to learn the sudden passing away of Mr. Annan.

Mr. Annan had graciously agreed to be the keynote speaker at our inaugural event scheduled for mid-November 2018. All of us had been looking forward to have the privilege of welcoming Mr. Annan.

Knowing Mr. Annan was supportive of the vision of our Forum since its inception, we will stride to work harder to make the Forum a success in honor of Mr. Annan.

The passing away of Mr. Annan is a great loss for the international community. Mr. Annan tirelessly worked to make the world a better and a more harmonious place. His legacy will live on for a long time.

We send our deepest condolences to the surviving members of Mr. Annan’s family, his close friends and colleagues.
