Healthcare for all
Sustainable, inclusive and resilient health systems are critical to addressing global health challenges and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
With partners, we're tackling some of the world’s biggest health challenges, providing our expertise in delivering resilient infrastructure, sustainable procurement solutions and more.
Around the world, inequities in health prevent underserved populations from achieving their full potential. Climate change, conflict and the pandemic further expose the vulnerability of global health systems.
To better manage health emergencies and put us back on a path to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, health systems need quality infrastructure, resilient supply chains and workforces that are equipped with the latest advances in policy and practice.
At UNOPS, we believe sustainable, inclusive and resilient infrastructure and efficient procurement approaches play a critical role in strengthening the resilience of health systems, and provide essential and life-saving healthcare services.
From working with governments to develop and improve public health procurement to ensuring critical infrastructure is in place to improve access to services, we are committed to supporting efforts to build a healthier future for all.
