Dear PHM Colleagues
Compliments of the new year!!!! We look forward to successes in 2010.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to contribute to the PHM Africa blog (www.phmafrica.blogspot.com) . This is an exciting space which has been created so that we can share our stories, activities and experiences on the Right to Health in Africa and beyond and any other issues that impact on health. Learning about each other’s plans, experiences, successes and challenges helps us to grow and strengthen each other in the struggle for health in Africa.
Lets us make this an Africa learning space!!
You can send your contributions to the following emails: africalearningspace@gmail.com or linda@phmovement.org

Lets also join the rest of the world in showing our solidarity to the people of Haiti and getting involved in the various activities to help. If you are in Cape Town, South Africa you can join the Getup Standup who are planning a Solidarity Gig on the 13 February at Community House in Salt River. OR you can “sign the petition below to ask Haiti's creditors to act quickly and cancel Haiti's debts:

As Haiti begins to rebuild we can help by lifting this debt.

Thank you very much Linda.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good opportunity to show solidarity to the people of Haiti. Unfortunately I am not in Cape Town, but I am signing the petition at the moment.

Dear Linda
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Hope you had a good holiday.
Thank you very much for initiating this, I am sure it will be an interesting build up to the PHA3 and IPHU to be held in Africa. We need to tell the African story by making sure that country level processes feed into PHA3 by engaging with organized community organisations and country networks.
Here in Zimbabwe we have a huge window of opportunity as the country is in the process of writing a new constitution and as Community Working Group on Health and PHM Zimbabwe, we are lobbying for the inclusion of the right to health and health care in the new Zimbabwe constitution and I will be happy to share with you the outreach activities that we are involved in.
We see that embedding the right to health in our constitution will give us the bottom line we need to make it clear that everyone has a claim to health care, regardless of the economic, socio-political status, race, creed, gender or other features. It will be a right that we will fight to include and that we will ensure is not left on paper, but protected and promoted through social action.
With warm regards
