People's Health Assembly 3 to be held in Cape Town, July 2012

By
The 3rd People’s Health Assembly (PHA3) to be held in Cape Town in July 2012.

Over the past several years, PHM Circles across the globe have made great strides toward the goal of “Health for All Now,” and PHA3 is an opportunity to take stock of all aspects of the movement. It will be an opportunity to analyze the current global health situation, celebrate strengths and accomplishments of PHM, and to strengthen the global network.

It is now time to start preparing for PHA3! 2011 will be used for mobilization within countries and regions, in a lead up to and in preparation for the 3rd PHA. We encourage all PHM friends to use existing events in 2011 for this mobilization; and for building PHM.

Please keep us informed of any regional events taking place that you think could be used for mobilization towards the Assembly. Activities can include:
reviewing and / or translating the People’s Charter for Health (if not already translated; we have it in over 40 languages already; see www.phmovement.org);
preparing discussion papers;
developing action plans and campaigns towards a shared agenda for people’s health ;
plan actions around a Right to Health campaign using the events to develop testimonies, case studies and discussion papers.

The PHM Global Secretariat welcomes your participation in the planning and implementation of this event. As with the previous 2 assemblies, PHA3 promises to be an exciting opportunity to share ideas and network with health rights activists from around the globe.

Creating an Africa-wide People's Health Movement

By
Our manifesto As the IPHU participants from the 'Africa Group’ we have agreed that in order to strengthen the movement, we would each need to first start by working locally, strengthening the PHM activities in our respective countries, Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. We commit to support each other in developing and strengthening the PHM in each of our countries as we work towards an Africa-wide People’s Health Movement. The role of PHM is to bring together organisations and individuals already working for the Right to Health under the banner of this shared vision of “Health for all, now!” PHM Africa is an organisation, not a movement. Anyone who endorses the charter and is working in the struggle for the right to health for all can join PHM Africa. The objectives and activities of our campaign are defined and developed by our members. We will strive to further the movement starting on this blog by connecting with others, sharing experiences,...

PHA3-Regional Statement- East and Southern Africa

By
REGIONAL STATEMENT – EASTERN & SOUTHERN AFRICA PEOPLE’S HEALTH ASSEMBLY 3 CAPE TOWN 11 JULY 2012 For us the country circle is fundamental. Our starting point would be to identify International People’s Health University (IPHU) alumni in the country; these need to identify an issue and seek local allies who identify with or are working on the issue, begin to develop a campaign and then ask the region for support including connecting them with expertise globally. We have established four working country circles that have lessons we can learn from. We need to develop the embryonic circles in the region through outreach support from the regional level. This can be done by developing a manual based on the lessons from countries (case studies from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana Kenya, as well as experiences from other regions) consisting of principles such as: We need a rallying point or issue that is centred around the right to health (RTH) and this can take di...
