IUCH (International Union for Circumpolar Health) er en international non-governmental organisation (NGO) med medlemmer, 'adhering bodies' og 'affiliates' i de circumpolare regioner.

IUCH's hovedformål er 'to:

  1. Promote international cooperation in circumpolar health
  2. Encourage and support research and exchange of scientific information in the circumpolar health sciences
  3. Promote public awareness of circumpolar health
  4. Provide a means of communication with other scientific organizations
  5. Promote and encourage the participation of indigenous peoples in circumpolar health affairs.

En væsentlig opgave for IUCH er at arrangere de 3-årlige International Congresses on Circumpolar Health (ICCH), som traditionelt har mange danske og grønlandske deltagere. Den sidst afholdte kongres (ICCH15) fandt sted i Fairbanks, Alaska, 5. - 10. august 2012, den forrige (ICCH14) i Yellowknife, NWT, Canada, 11.-17. juli 2009, kongressen før da (ICCH13) i Novosibirsk, Rusland, juni 2006, og kongressen før da (ICCH12) i Nuuk, september 2003. Denne blev blev kombineret med årets NUNAMED. Næste kongres (ICCH16) finder sted i Oulu, Finland, 2015. Nærmere information vil følge her på siden.
