ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

TUFH 2026 is a joint conference between The Network Towards Unity for Health (TUFH) and the University of the Philippines Manila. At the TUFH 2026 Annual Conference, TUFH will be celebrating its 47th anniversary. The University of the Philippines Manila was one of the founding universities 47 years ago.

The City of Manila, the capital of the Philippines and host city of TUFH 2026, offers a rich blend of history, culture, food, and urban energy that makes it an exciting destination for tourists. It is gritty and vibrant, with a mix of old-world charm and modern chaos. Manila offers that raw, layered urban experience for a traveler who loves exploring authentic, lived-in cities.

TUFH 2026 will be an international, intersectoral, and intergenerational in-person and virtual conference that brings together academic organizations and global health providers into a single event. We strongly recommend attending in person, but for those unable to travel, we will provide the opportunity for virtual participation.

VENUE

TUFH PHILOSOPHY

TUFH is based on relationships between organizations, people, and those collaborating around common interests. These relationships are not static but rather grow and develop from new members and future generations. TUFH is not an insular organization, but an ever evolving and inclusive network that embraces other organizations that strive to create educational practices, community health approaches, and partner on research to develop the evidence for what works.

TUFH aspires to serve as a catalyst to promote positive change in local systems and actors. TUFH’s model addresses problems by looking for what is working and why. This accelerates the process of positive change by occupying people with doing rather than dwelling on why it can’t be done.

The aim the conference is to bring together international participants from different health and educational sectors to network, learn and teach. During the scientific sessions (Workshops, Oral Presentations, TUFH Talks, Documentaries) participants learn about a vast array of topics.

At the conference there are always keynote speakers that capture the important messages related to the conference themes. During the conference on the move participants will go out into communities and see projects and organizations do the work and learn about in firsthand. Multiple networking opportunities provide ample options to extend everyone’s professional network.
