LoveYourself made its mark at the UNITE Global Summit 2026, held at the Manila Marriott Hotel. In a historic milestone for global health policy, this event marks the very first time the prestigious summit has been hosted outside of Europe, and LoveYourself has been chosen to be one of the supporters of the summit.
Under the theme “Bridging the Health Divide: Political Courage to Invest,” the summit serves as a platform uniting lawmakers, global health leaders, and policy experts. The collaborative gathering aims to drive evidence-based legislation, advance health equity, and champion sustainable public health initiatives worldwide.
As an official supporting partner, LoveYourself was a presenting booth at the summit, showcasing its community-driven initiatives, campaigns, services, and what the LoveYourself community is all about. Delegates and attendees are invited to visit the LoveYourself interactive booth throughout the summit to explore its grassroots programs, learn about sexual health and HIV care services, and discuss meaningful initiatives for inclusive healthcare.
AHF’s Global Campaign: Freedom from Debt
The LoveYourself team was invited to AHF’s discussion about their global campaign ‘Freedom from Debt’ which aims to call for more equitable borrowing for countries, especially in the Philippines. Vic from AHF Philippines stated that the global campaign strives hard to advocate to have a global borrowers’ forum to aid the automatic debt process, meaning that when a certain country faces calamities, it should be a priority to allocate it to responses instead of paying off the debt.
Together, we are breaking down barriers, eliminating stigma, and building systems that ensure no one is left behind in accessing life-saving care. The strategies and partnerships happened in the summit will serve as the blueprint for driving measurable, long-term impact across communities worldwide. By translating shared visions into decisive action, we move closer to a future free from the burden of HIV.
