POINT joins international social media campaign for World Health Day 2026

NEWS / 16 APR 2026

Advancing international cooperation and digital innovation to support universal health coverage under the #UnitedForHealth initiative

On the occasion of World Health Day, celebrated annually on April 7 and promoted by the World Health Organization, POINT is proud to participate in the second joint social media campaign organized within ICONS, contributing to the global conversation on strengthening health systems.

The 2026 theme, “Global Action for Universal Health Coverage”, highlights the urgent need to build stronger, more equitable health systems that ensure access to quality care for all. This priority closely aligns with the European Union’s commitment to advancing global health through international cooperation, innovation, and solidarity.

Within this framework, POINT actively contributes to the campaign by sharing video messages and quotes from its coordinator and key partners. These contributions address two central questions:

What is the role of international cooperation in achieving stronger global health systems?
How is the POINT project contributing to this goal?

Through its participation, POINT emphasizes the importance of cross-border collaboration, knowledge exchange, and digital innovation in improving healthcare access and reducing inequalities. The project’s activities reflect a shared European vision of resilient, inclusive, and sustainable health systems.

The campaign, unified under the official hashtag #UnitedForHealth, offers an important platform to amplify impact, foster dialogue among stakeholders, and raise awareness of the collective efforts needed to achieve universal health coverage.
