The General Assembly of GPAFI was held on 27 October 2011 at the Palais des Nations.

The minutes (in French) can be sent to members on request.

GPAFI understands that the needs of its members are specific and unique compared to most other categories of employees. International workers often maintain dual nationalities, multiple countries of residence and travel for considerable lengths of time.

As such, they require the peace of mind to know that when stationed in Switzerland, they will have immediate access to professional services in the event of an emergency. Likewise, this assistance must extend around the world when visiting their home country or simply when travelling for leisure.

GPAFI now providing a complementary health insurance to the international civil servants and the members of their families tailored to their basic insurance.

There are different health insurance schemes within the UN system, especially those of the UN, the ILO-ITU and the WHO.

In partnership with UNIQA Assurances SA Geneva, which manages from a long time the health insurance of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), GPAFI provides a complementary health insurance which benefits are adapted to those of the basic scheme.

The complementary health insurance allows covering at 100% the medical and pharmaceutical expenses as well as the expenses of hospitalization in private room.

Besides additional guarantees in optical and dental, this insurance covers the expenses of alternative medicine which are not covered by the basic insurance.

Detailed information on this insurance coverage is under the section Documentation.
