JOIN The Healthcare Units for Every Child Pledge

Be part of a community that stands with the world’s most vulnerable children. 

When war and disaster strike, children don’t die from bombs alone.  

They die because healthcare can’t reach them in time.  

Sign the pledge and urge government leaders to protect emergency healthcare units and secure sustained funding.

Hospitals are destroyed. Medical supplies are blocked. Doctors and nurses are forced to flee. Children die from diseases and illnesses we know how to treat, like pneumonia, malaria, and malnutrition.

For many children, emergency healthcare units are the difference between life and death.

They must be protected, funded, and allowed to operate everywhere, every time. 

THE PLEDGE

I stand for children’s right to lifesaving healthcare.

I believe that no child should die because medical care was unavailable, delayed, or destroyed.

By signing this pledge, I call on governments and global leaders to:

  • Protect emergency healthcare units, health workers, and clinics in conflict and disaster zones
  • Guarantee safe, rapid humanitarian access so medical teams can reach children without delay
  • Ensure sustained funding for emergency health units that treat children in crises
  • Uphold international law that protects medical care and those who deliver it

I pledge to use my voice to help ensure emergency health teams can reach children before it’s too late and that no child is left without care when they need it most. 

Why this pledge matters right now

  • Over 520 million children are living in conflict zones
  • Health facilities are routinely damaged or destroyed
  • Children die every day from preventable and treatable illnesses

Emergency health units save lives by delivering rapid, expert medical care. Even in the most dangerous and remote places. These teams have already helped millions of children survive pneumonia, malaria, disease outbreaks, and birth complications in crises around the world.  

But without protection, access, and funding, these lifesaving units cannot operate.

Your signature helps demand action and shows that the world is watching.
