Securing the Right to Health for Everyone, Everywhere
An ECOSOC-recognized global health alliance advocating for a Convention on Health Equity (CHE) to end health inequalities and secure the right to health for all.
Why do we need a Convention on Health Equity?
Despite international commitments, unconscionable levels of health inequities persist. A Convention on Health Equity (CHE; formerly known as Framework Convention on Global Health (FCGH)) is a proposed treaty to establish binding norms, strengthen accountability, and ensure equity by clarifying the right to health, guiding national and international actions, and addressing commercial determinants of health.

In our December 2025 update, the FCGH Alliance reached a major advocacy milestone: the Framework Convention on Global Health was included for the first time in the Civil Society policy brief to G20 Leaders—an important step toward a binding global treaty for the right to health. We also expanded our global engagement through new partnerships, including a six-part webinar series with the Nigerian Medical Students Association (NiMSA) and Human Rights Day dialogues with the Health Equity Network of the Americas (HENA). As we strengthen our operational base in Geneva and prepare to present our five-year strategy at the March 2026 General Assembly, we invite you to read the full report and see how we’re turning global commitments into local action.
