Improving indoor air quality
Established in 2006 by the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), the GHF is a Swiss not-for- profit initiative that brings together a diverse range of stakeholders to discuss and address global health challenges. It serves as a neutral platform for dialogue and collaboration among policymakers, representatives from academia, civil society, and the private sector.
A world where health is a human right and access to health a reality for every human being.
The mission of the Geneva Health Forum is to facilitate dialogue among global health actors. This dialogue contributes to the improvement of health policies and access to care worldwide.
To fulfill this mission, the GHF has identified three main objectives:
Since 2006, The GHF develops a biennal conference with a public call for contributions. Scientists, healthcare professionals, and field actors can discuss global health challenges and opportunities.
The GHF organizes also regular activities throughout the year, in the form of panels, roundtables, or working groups. These regular activities prepare respond to specific requests from GHF partners.
Every year in May, during the World Health Assembly (WHA), the GHF events enable scientists and civil society players to make their voices heard on the main challenges and opportunities face by the global health.
