Health Clusters exist to relieve suffering and save lives in humanitarian emergencies while advancing the well-being and dignity of affected populations.

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.
