The Community Working Group on Health (CWGH),coordinating the PHM activities in Zimbabwe has been doing a lot of field work participating in the constitution outreach meetings supporting the Right to Health Campaign in the new Zimbabwe Constitution. The Zimbabwe constitution is currently under review and input is being drawn on the areas to be included in the constitution. In 2008, national civil society at the Community Working Group on Health 15th National Conference demanded the right to health be included in new constitution, understanding the principle of progressive realization of this right thus the 35 national membership based organisations in CWGH including PHM Zimbabwe have been participating in the constitution making process through the 27 CWGH districts structures across the country.
CWGH has also invited the 2 Co- Chairpersons of the Parliamentary Select Committee COPAC who are coordinating the constitution making process including members of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health to the 17th CWGH National Meeting to be held this Thursday and Friday (21-22October) and will have more than 100 participants for a panel discussion on the inclusion of the right to health in the new Zimbabwe constitution. We will also have a one hour session on the activities of PHM Zimbabwe.
