HUG
Founded in 1559, the University of Geneva is today the second largest high school in Switzerland. The jewel of the city of Calvin, the institution has a great international influence and cultivates its openness to the world. The University of Geneva is distinguished by its intellectual heritage, quality education covering most fields of science, arts and literature as well as cutting-edge research
The GHF is a joint initiative launched by the Hospitals of the University of Geneva (HUG) and the University of Geneva in partnership with leading Swiss public institutions engaged in Global Health and the major international organizations and institutions active in health in Geneva and around the world. The Geneva Health Forum (GHF) is a global health conference coupled with an interactive, web based platform (the Global Health Forum Platform), which bring together multi-sectoral representation of global health players including frontliners, catalysts, researchers and policymakers. Drawing on testimonies and field-work from participants, the GHF infuses policy formulation with ground reality.
