G4 Alliance at the 2026 World Bank–IMF Annual Meetings | Thailand

Dr. Neil Wetzig, President of the G4 Alliance Permanent Council, is representing the G4 Alliance and the global surgical, obstetric, trauma, and anaesthesia (SOTA) care community at the 2026 World Bank–IMF Annual Meetings in Thailand.

His participation reinforces the importance of positioning SOTA care as an essential component of global health financing, universal health coverage (UHC), and resilient health systems.

The G4 Alliance continues to advocate for greater recognition, prioritization, and sustainable investment in essential SOTA services, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

No universal health coverage without access to safe, timely, and affordable SOTA care.

We’re pleased to welcome Janis P. Tupesis MD to our Board of Directors.

Dr. Tupesis currently serves as president-elect of the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) and is a faculty member at University of Wisconsin Department of Emergency Medicine.

“Through my work with the IFEM and the Acute Care Action Network, I have seen the impact that is possible when professional organizations, clinicians, health systems, governments, and global partners work toward a common vision rather than within traditional silos,” says Dr. Tupesis.

“The G4 Alliance provides an important platform to bring these efforts together—connecting policy, advocacy, education, workforce development, data, and health-system implementation. I am particularly excited about building stronger collaboration between the G4 Alliance, IFEM, the Acute Care Action Network, World Health Organization, and other partners to advance integrated systems that care for patients across their lifespan—from children requiring timely emergency or surgical care, through adult illness and injury, to the complex acute-care needs of older adults. Ultimately, this is about ensuring that every patient, regardless of age, geography, or circumstance, has timely access to high-quality emergency, critical, operative, and trauma care when they need it most.”

G4 Alliance fellow Michael Albdewi recently took on an incredible physical challenge - completing the Ironman 70.3 New York, while raising over $2,000 to support the G4 Alliance. “I chose to support G4 Alliance because it speaks to my desire to close the gap in surgical care around the world,” he said.

Despite weather interfering with the official event, Michael stayed true to his original goals by pivoting his race place.

“After the race at Jones Beach was cancelled due to a storm, I still wanted to complete the distance to honor my training and everyone who donated. Earlier this week, I completed the full 70.3 across Brooklyn, swimming at a local pool, biking through Prospect Park, and running along my favorite path under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Thank you all for supporting such a great organization!”

Cheers to Michael on his accomplishment, and thank you for supporting the Alliance!
