The Global Health Forum (GHF), in collaboration with its partners engaged in humanitarian action, will host a session during the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) 2026, which will take place from 10 to 12 March in Geneva.
Entitled “Strengthening the Application of International Humanitarian Law to Guarantee Access to Healthcare”, this session is set against an increasingly challenging humanitarian context, marked by the growing number of conflicts, the erosion of respect for International Humanitarian Law by parties to conflicts, and the more frequent targeting of healthcare facilities and personnel. These violations severely undermine access to healthcare for affected populations and significantly hinder humanitarian operations on the ground.
The HNPW provides a unique forum for humanitarian networks and partnerships to come together and address key humanitarian issues. As one of the largest humanitarian events of its kind, it brings together participants from the United Nations, NGOs, Member States, the private sector, the military, academia, and beyond. Throughout the week, networks and partnerships hold annual meetings and consultations, share expertise, and collaborate on best practices to address common challenges in humanitarian action.
The GHF session will contribute to these discussions by sharing experiences, strengthening collective practices, and exploring concrete pathways to better safeguard access to healthcare in crisis and conflict settings.
The date of the session and further details will be communicated in early February.
