Health systems around the world are facing a defining moment.
Rising demand, ageing populations, and growing mental health challenges are exposing a fundamental truth: medicine alone cannot create health.
The Global Social Prescribing Alliance, founded by international partners including the World Health Innovation Summit, is leading a global shift one that places people, not just patients, at the centre of care. Operating across more than 30 countries, GSPA is advancing social prescribing as a cornerstone of preventive, person-centred healthcare.
Social prescribing connects individuals to non-clinical community services from nature and arts to skills and social support addressing the wider determinants of health that clinical systems alone cannot reach.
This is why the movement is growing rapidly.
And on 17th July 2026, the Alliance will convene the world at the Global Social Prescribing Summit, bringing together policymakers, investors, clinicians, and community leaders to accelerate this transformation.
Because this isn’t a programme.
It’s a global health revolution.
