Access to healthcare in conflict settings and y, development, and security actors

Constraints related to protection, access, and political considerations
Weak integration of local actors in decision-making processes
Chronic gaps in health workforce capacity
Difficulties in maintaining essential services during acute emergencies

In line with the 2026 Geneva Health Forum theme, “Rethinking Cooperation in Global Health,” this session builds on previous discussions (notably at The Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Weeks (HNPW) 2026) and contributes to a broader multi-event reflection culminating at the biannual GHF Conference in November this year.

Rather than revisiting known challenges, this session aims to critically examine where cooperation fails in practice, and what must change to improve access to care in crisis settings.
