Global leaders meet in Manila to discuss health security

On August 3–4, 2026, the UNITE Global Summit 2026 will bring world leaders to the Manila Marriott Hotel in the Philippines.

Organized by the Parliamentarians Network for Global Health, this significant event centers on the theme 'Bridging the Health Divide: Political Courage to Invest.'

As global health challenges evolve, the summit aims to strengthen health security by improving international cooperation and proactive policy-making.

Parliamentarians, health experts, and representatives from various sectors will gather to develop evidence-based legislation designed to close equity gaps and ensure the sustainability of public health financing.

Choosing Manila as the host city highlights the growing importance of Southeast Asia in shaping global health governance, especially as nations work to recover from past crises and build more resilient systems.

By fostering dialogue between lawmakers and global specialists, the summit seeks to create a robust framework that stops health threats before they spread, ensuring a safer future for all.
