UNITE is a non-profit, non-partisan, global network of current and former members of parliament from multinational, national, state, and regional Parliaments, Congresses, and Senates, committed towards the promotion of efficient and sustainable policies for improved global health systems, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our flagship event, the UNITE Global Summit, is the world’s leading forum for forging partnerships between parliamentarians and leaders from the global health community.
It is the opportunity for experts from civil society, affected communities, international organizations and academia to come together with leading parliamentarians from across the world, to discuss the most pressing issues in global health and set the political agenda for the year to come.
We work with Members of Parliament across the globe to mobilize resources to fight global health threats
UNITE work is global but also regional and national. We work across countries to promote legislation changes and foster global health policies
By joining their national delegations in international fora, parliamentarians can bring attention to the national health priorities, strengthening their country’s position in international health policy discussions, while making a significant contribution to global health governance. Simultaneously, it is an opportunity to learn best practices and innovative solutions to health challenges from other countries and use that knowledge to strengthen their own national health systems.
In partnership with the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group for Drug Policy Reform, UNITE launched a workstream to develop and advance drug policy reform at its virtual Global Summit in September 2020.
Over the next three years, UNITE will set up a global policy desk on digital health. This will serve as a comprehensive source of credible digital health resources for parliamentarians and elected officials.
