In 2013, as part of its Centennial, the Rockefeller Foundation is holding a series of gatherings that bring together the world’s leading thinkers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and political leaders to identify, understand, and solve problems in innovative new ways.Towards this, in January 2013, the Foundation and Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) held in Beijing China, a Global Health Summit: Dreaming the Future of Health for the Next 100 Years. The two hosts each brought a one hundred year track record in public health. The Summit gathered 112 prominent leaders from government, international organisations, academia, civil society and business and from numerous disciplines to discuss the question: “How will we enable the growth and development of healthy societies over the next 100 years?” A 100 year horizon lies beyond the boundaries of our knowledge and enters the realms of our imaginings. This White paper is thus a provocation to dream and act! It presents the key trends, debates and ideas that were raised in and after the Summit. Through this, it envisages the multiple potential futures that may emerge from these trends, the choices that determine them, and where we could act, even now, to shape futures of sustained health.The White paper seeks to stimulate reflection, debate and submission from a range of actors that play a role in sustained health. The paper seeks to engage young people on a future of health that they will both shape and live in. The ideas presented intend to enrich the activities and priorities of leaders and stakeholders who work for social change, especially for vulnerable people. They will also inform the Rockefeller Foundation’s goals, grant‐making priorities, and networks.
