Dear PHM friends!

Greetings from the global secretariat of the PHM in Cape Town!

Being part of the PHM means that we use the framework of the People's Charter for Health as much as possible in our everyday choices, the actions we take and the work we do. For all of us this is a way of being and no effort is required to advocate for the principles of the Charter!

Since a while now, it is possible to endorse the charter online via the website of the PHM (as individual or organisation). This email to encourage you to endorse the charter so we can show the world global support for the PCH! If you believe to have already endorsed the PCH, do please have a look and search for your name to make sure.

If you know of people who are part of the movement and have not endorsed the charter, feel free to spread the link and information!

Many thanks and warmest wishes

Creating an Africa-wide People's Health Movement

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

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...

Seeking Organisational Endorsements: Comments on ‘Draft Technical Paper’ prepared for the World Conference on SDH

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...
