Summary

Social and environmental crises are increasingly impacting the health of populations. Inequalities in access to care are growing, and the current design of health systems is becoming increasingly fragile and inadequate to address these challenges. It is crucial to reinvent a new approach to global health that takes into account the current social and environmental crises, further involves civil society and academia, and harnesses the opportunities of digital development. In these times of significant international tension, it is of utmost importance for Geneva to reinforce its unique position as a neutral platform for multilateral dialogue. The Geneva Health Forum (GHF) is a platform for innovative practices in global health and a space for science-based and inclusive diplomacy. Established in 2006 by the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), the Geneva Health Forum is organised in close collaboration with 24 partners, including prominent international organisations based in Geneva, such as the WHO, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Global Fund, GAVI, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and the UN. The mission of the Geneva Health Forum is to contribute to the improvement in health and access to health care worldwide. To achieve this goal, it aims to give visibility to innovative field experience, to establish a constructive dialogue between global health actors from different sectors, as well as to foster collaborations between them.
