Global Action on Men’s Health (GAMH), Global Health Hub Germany (GHHG) and the German Men’s Health Foundation (Stiftung Männergesundheit) are delighted to invite you to our jointly-hosted upcoming webinar.
This session will explore opportunities in Germany, across Europe and globally to strengthen men’s health through research, practice, and policy—contributing to improved quality of life for all.
Men in Germany and beyond continue to experience poorer health outcomes, including higher rates of premature mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and suicide. While previous advocacy and research—such as Germany’s 2021 Men’s Health Manifesto—have highlighted the need for action, there is now renewed momentum for a new approach. This is being driven by the national men’s health strategies in Ireland and England, alongside WHO Europe’s regional strategy on men’s health, and a growing broader concern about the role of men and boys in a changing world.
This webinar will bring together practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to:
- Discuss the importance of investing in men’s health
- Share current initiatives and examples from Germany and beyond
- Identify key barriers, policy gaps, and the wider social and economic impacts related to men’s health
- Explore opportunities for national, European and global action, including the development of a men’s health strategy in Germany and other countries
The session will also emphasise that men’s ill-health affects everyone—men themselves, women, and society as a whole—and that these outcomes are not inevitable, but can be improved through behaviour change, better services, and effective policy.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Sascha van Beek MdB, Member of the German Bundestag and spokesperson for men’s health
- Alistair Strathern MP, UK Parliament, Co-chair of the Labour MP Men & Boys Group
- Dr Tim Shand, Policy Consultant, Global Action on Men’s Health (GAMH)
- Leonie Kienzle, Global Health Hub Germany (GHHG)
- Doris Bardehle, German Men’s Health Foundation (Stiftung Männergesundheit)
The webinar will be opened by Corinna Heineke, GHHG Managing Director and Peter Baker, GAMH Chief Executive.
