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.

By
Seeking Endorsements: Comments on ‘Draft Technical Paper’ prepared for the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health The World Health Organization (WHO) is convening the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health (WCSDH) from 19-21 October 2011 in Rio de Janeiro with the support of the Government of Brazil. The Conference will be organized in accordance with the Resolution 62.14 of the 62nd World Health Assembly and as a follow-up for the work of the WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health (CSDH). The WHO has published a ‘Draft Technical Paper’ on the WCSDH and initiated a consultation around it through inviting online submissions. The People’s Health Movement (PHM), in association with several public interest groups and networks, has been coordinating a collective civil society response to the Draft Technical Paper which we strongly believe is a step back from the report of the CSDH ‘Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health equity through action on soci...
