Overview of The Union
Since our founding as a global scientific organisation in 1920, The Union has drawn from the best evidence and the skills, expertise and reach of our staff, consultants and membership in order to advance solutions to the most pressing public health challenges affecting people living in poverty around the world.
The Union has thousands of individual and organisational members forming an international network of huge influence and knowledge that is the bedrock of our work.
We have three main approaches to achieving our mission:
-
As a scientific organisation, The Union’s approach starts with evidence. We conduct research so that we can know the nature of the challenges we face and their most effective solutions.
-
Through our peer-reviewed journals, our global and regional conferences, and through training courses and technical assistance, we provide platforms for sharing scientific knowledge with stakeholders around the world. A flagship Union event each year is The Union World Conference on Lung Health where over 3,000 participants come from around the world to learn about the latest research, policy developments and programmatic advances. The conference attracts high profile, influential speakers including those who have survived TB as well as Ministers of Health and leading researchers.
