Health Cluster

About

Health Clusters exist to relieve suffering and save lives in humanitarian emergencies, while advancing the well-being and dignity of affected populations. Currently there are 31 Health Clusters/Sectors, of which 2 are regional coordination mechanisms. These Health Clusters/Sectors are working to meet the health needs of millions of people worldwide. The Global Health Cluster exists to support Health Clusters/Sectors in countries. It can make a difference by: - providing the right expertise at the right place at the right time; - building capacity of Health Cluster Coordinators and other Health Cluster staff in countries; - gathering and disseminating sound and relevant information to guide partners’ response; - identifying and addressing gaps in technical knowledge and available guidance to ensure the health response follows global best practices and standards; and - promoting and advocating for the importance of humanitarian health action on the global stage, to make sure that Health Clusters receive the political and financial support needed.
