The 3rd Global Convening of the Global Initiative on #DigitalHealth started today, and this year's theme couldn't be more timely: Building #HealthSystems resilience and local capacity through Digital Foundations, Learning and Partnerships.
It's exactly the conversation our digital health narrative was built for 👉 https://t.co/ugVOtYZE3C
From Brazil to Tunisia, Slovenia, Côte d'Ivoire and across the WHO African Region, today's webinar showed there is no single model for institutionalizing #SocialParticipation.
Representing civil society, Oanh Khuất (@SCDIVietnam) reminded us:
"Institutional change does not always begin with formal structures. Civil society can lead, build momentum and demonstrate what meaningful participation looks like in practice."
📢 As we prepare our final civil society-led multistakeholder report on implementation of the WHA resolution, we want to hear from you.
📝 Survey (5 languages) closes 17 July:

Today, governments, civil society and communities are gathering at the UN Multi-stakeholder Hearing on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response ahead of the High-Level Meeting in September.

We're joining civil society partners in calling for:
🔹 Stronger investment in UHC and PHC

After #WHA79, one message continues to resonate strongly: Health systems work better when people are meaningfully involved in shaping them.
At the Civil Society Networking Space, advocates, communities, youth leaders, policymakers and partners explored how to:
🔹 Turn commitments on #SocialParticipationForHealth into action
🔹 Co-create financing reforms with people and communities
🔹 Strengthen youth participation in health decision-making
🔹 Build momentum toward the 2027 UN High-Level Meeting on #UHC

🌟 Business as usual is not reform.
This week at #WHA79, Member States will vote on a joint process for global health reform. If it excludes civil society from its governance, it risks reproducing the very gaps it intends to fix.

#WHA79 Day 3 recap!
Yesterday was another exciting day of packed rooms and stimulating discussions. Topics ranged from building resilient health systems to translating commitments into action, engaging civil society in global health governance, and the links between #UHC and global health architecture reform, to mention a few.
Congratulations to our partners for their successful events and unfailing commitment to #HealthForAll!
The civil society networking space is now closed, but we’re still in Geneva for the remainder of the #WHA. We’re particularly looking forward to this Friday’s discussion on the process for global health architecture reform. Stay tuned for updates!
And if you believe civil society should be included in the governance structure for this process, remember to sign and share HEAR CSO’s statement here: https://t.co/YeD83nOkk0

✔️ The need to feature #DigitalHealth as an enabler for #UHC progress
We look forward to continuing to work with these brilliant people and organizations going above and beyond to make #HealthForAll a reality for everyone, everywhere!

Together with @IFMSA, @IPSF and @UHC2030, we brought together young advocates to exchange on #SocialParticipation, #UHC and youth-led advocacy ahead of the 2027 UN High-Level Meeting on UHC.
From #HealthCostsHurt storytelling to ACT for UHC, the discussions highlighted one thing clearly: young people must not only be included in health decision-making — but lead it 💪
