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).
UNITE in collaboration with the The Parliamentary Network on the World Bank & IMF launched the International Forum on Global Health, gathering members of different international Parliamentary Assemblies and Networks under a common global health and economic agenda, fostering international cooperation on pressing
and challenging issues such as pandemic preparedness, global health security, resource mobilization, research and development and universal health coverage. The IFGH is composed by 9 member networks, 2 observers and 1 collaborator.
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
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.
The UNITE Global Summit
Every year during three days experts from civil society, affected communities, international organizations and academia come together with leading parliamentarians from across the world to discuss the most pressing issues in global health and to set the agenda for the year to come.
