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).
This year, around World Health Day, parliamentarians from around the world are advocating to be included in their national delegation in the 76th World Health Assembly in May 2023.
The World Health Assembly (WHA) is the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), where member states gather to set global health policies and priorities. However, in many countries, parliamentarians are not included in the delegation to the WHA, which limits their ability to influence global health policies and advocate for their country’s priorities.
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.
