Panel sessions
The EHF 2024 panel sessions will consist of moderated discussions among the wider humanitarian- development community, including EU institutions, EU Member States, third countries, partner organisations, local humanitarian actors, UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent family and academics.
Humanitarian Talks
Humanitarian Talks provide a space for discussion running in parallel with the EHF panels and an opportunity for focused exchange on concrete deliverables as well as on more specific humanitarian issues and crises that will not be addressed in the EHF24 panel sessions.
Humanitarian Talks complement the EHF programme with hands-on discussions, which reinforce the
“concrete delivery” aspect of the Forum. Proposed and led by partners and Member States, they offer an
alternative platform for humanitarian stakeholders to contribute and thematically complement the core
agenda of the event.
The Talks will showcase initiatives and discussions driven by partners, Member States and practitioners.

Geo example: Ukraine
In Ukraine, the healthcare system is constantly under attack, particularly in frontline areas. Since February 2022, 1,468 medical facilities in Ukraine and another 193 facilities have been completely destroyed, according to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The significant government budget and international support keeps the health system relatively functional and resilient, but for how long? Demand for healthcare and rehabilitation is constantly increasing, infrastructure is damaged, healthcare workers are overstretched and prices for medicine keep rising. This panel aims to define the best strategies and modalities to effectively support the Ukrainian health system and ensure access to quality healthcare for all.
The session will be moderated by Anya Sitaram.
