About this Site

The Online News Service of the Geneva Health Forum Towards Global Access to Health is a service made possible through the contributions of HCUGE, International Conference Volunteers (ICVolunteers) and MCART. The Forum itself has been made possible thanks to the efforts of partners from United Nations Organizations, civil society and the private sector.

It supplements the original site at http://www.hcuge.ch/genevahealthforum/.

The purpose of this site is to serve as a news and information source for the Geneva Health Forum for conference participants, organizations involved in access to health, the media and the public at large.
