Early and mid-career public health professions are ‘emerging leaders’ who have typically received their final degree within the last ten years. This cohort represents the ‘next generation’ of health professionals, but they also share the future vision for the landscape of health, and consequently should have a pivotal voice in its creation.

Twenty six ‘emerging leaders’ consisting of health researchers, clinicians and educators were recruited by selection for the 2024 World Health Summit Regional Meeting. These emerging leaders provided critical reflections on allocated sessions, forming session summaries and academic outputs. In doing so, Monash University and the World Health Summit seek to formalise the views of these emerging leaders and build on the importance of such leadership across the Australia and Asia Pacific region.

We sincerely thank all of our Emerging Leaders for their time and commitment to helping to shape the future of public and global health.
