About the conference

What is the conference about?

Since 2006, the Geneva Health Forum Conference is an international platform that brings together key stakeholders in global health to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and work collectively to address today’s most pressing global health challenges.

Building on the unique ecosystem of International Geneva, the GHF provides a neutral and inclusive space for dialogue and collaboration among policymakers, researchers, international organizations, civil society, the private sector, healthcare professionals, and communities.

Through science-based and citizen-engaging events, the GHF Conference pursues three core missions:

• Connect – Bringing together diverse stakeholders to foster collaboration and develop innovative, sustainable solutions to global health challenges.

• Advocate – Promoting progress in global health by providing a platform where organizations and individuals can influence policies and help shape global health agendas.

• Build – Showcasing innovative initiatives and solutions while increasing the visibility of organizations and individuals contributing to global health.
