Sonia Sidhu

Liberal
“I met with leaders from UNITE, a group of politicians from over 120 countries working on global health. Canada has the knowledge to help fix health systems around the world, especially for women, children, and vulnerable people.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise to highlight Canada’s leadership in strengthening global health systems. As UNITE chapter chair for North America, I had the honour of welcoming Dr. Ricardo Baptista Leite to Ottawa, who is president of UNITE. Alongside colleagues and leading health experts, we discussed how legislators can work together to advance innovation, preparedness and stronger outcomes internationally. UNITE is a global parliamentary network with more than 552 members across over 120 countries working with partners, such as the WHO and the United Nations, to promote fair and sustainable health systems and digital innovation. Canada has the expertise, the institutions and the credibility to help shape global solutions, from prevention and preparedness to supports for women, children and vulnerable communities. By working together with partners through UNITE, we can drive meaningful progress that reaches communities in every corner of the world.
