As announced in November, UBC’s Vancouver campus will be the backdrop for the Towards Unity for Health (TUFH) 2022 conference on August 16-19, 2022. 

TUFH is an international, intersectoral, and intergenerational global health conference that brings together health partners, universities, community institutions, and thought leaders from around the world. TUFH 2022 is being hosted by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC, The Network: Towards Unity for Health, and BC Patient Safety and Quality Council. The theme Moving Forward Together: Unity for Health for All has been being planned in partnership with the Métis Nation of British Columbia, First Nations Health Authority, and UBC Health. The conference will focus on fostering equitable community-oriented health services, education, and research, with the goal of improving health locally and globally.

UBC Health is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion and supports efforts to ensure equitable participation in the conference. As a TUFH 2022 partner, UBC Health is pleased to sponsor a number of students and local Indigenous peoples who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the conference. UBC Health will cover conference registration fee, travel, and accommodation.
