This year's G7 presidency is Japan, which will be hosting the Health Ministers' Meeting on May 13 and 14, 2023.
Matters to be Discussed: The listening session will cover priority areas expected to be addressed at the G7 Health Ministers' Meeting. Provisional agenda items for the Health Ministers' Meeting include to:
