This year's Munich Security Conference focused on topics such as nuclear proliferation, artificial intelligence, energy, populism, Venezuela, Russia, Gaza, Ukraine, Iran and Sudan.

The CEO of the Gates Foundation did attend the conference, but his contribution was about the debt crisis, not health care. Some global health advocates attended the conference but were not included in the main agenda. The article points out that more than 18 million people died worldwide during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, which the author says highlights the need for a greater focus on health at such security conferences.
