Global Network for Health & Peace (GNHP)
Global Network for Health & Peace (GNHP)
Building a Healthier World Through Peace. Advancing Peace Through Health.
We operate on a fundamental truth: Peace and Health are inseparable; one cannot thrive without the other. In a world marked by conflict and inequality, we are building a global alliance dedicated to breaking this cycle.
The Network is proudly hosted by Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), a pioneer institution committed to global health equity. The Permanent Secretariat is housed within the TUMS Office of International Relations, with its Center of Excellence for Global Health providing the scientific and operational leadership that drives our initiative forward.
The Challenge We Address
- Conflict destroys health: It shatters infrastructure, disrupts supply chains, and forces healthcare workers to flee.
- Poor health undermines peace: Disease, malnutrition, and collapsed health systems fuel poverty, displacement, and social unrest.
- The most vulnerable suffer most: We focus on protecting health and human dignity in the world's most fragile and conflict-affected settings, with special focus on the most vulnerable, i.e., women, children, elderly, people with disability, migrants/refugees/displaced people.
