From: David Legge

Follow and participate in the 64th World Health Assembly on the WHO Watch portal.

The WHA Watch Portal is now open for business (http://www.ghwatch.org/who-watch/WHA64). The Agenda of the World Health Assembly is demystified with links to official papers and to more critical commentary. Over the next three weeks additional commentary will appear, reports of discussion at the WHA and a lively open comment space will operate.

Keep up to the minute on Twitter. Follow @WHOWatch and receive notifications of updates on the WHA Watch website and other events in Geneva.

WHO Watch is also cooperating with the World Open Health Assembly during the WHA presented by iMAXi (http://imaxi.org/content/coming-soon-world-open-health-assembly-2011).

WHO Watch is a project of the Democratising Global Health Governance Coalition, a group of civil society organisations and networks committed to the urgent reform of the forces and structures which shape global decision making and which affect the global health crisis and the right to health.

Medical Practitioners Calls off their strike in Kenya

By
Medical practitioners operating at Kenya's largest public hospital called Kenyatta National Hospital went on strike yesterday and paralysed all medical services within that health institution for 10 hours. They were demanding that the government of Kenya should pay them their due arrears for 11 months adding up to a total of 87 million Kenya shillings. Patients waited patiently in the hospital wards and on long queues for the strike to be called off or solved by the relevant authority. Relevant ministers were at that moment attending a constitution conference at the Kabete about 10 kilometers away from the hospital. When PHM Kenya representative arrived to the hospital, the hospital administration had already made promise to pay the nurses as soon as possible and the nurses agreed to resume back to work this morning. I will be going there at 2:00 pm to meet some officials to see if PHM could be of help to any side. More of this later..... In solidarity. Erick Otieno Owuor

This title in my mind alludes to a commitment to serve a people and humanity through a more democratic approach that allows them to be involved in their own health challenge solving and development. It is important to note that many marginalized people’s lives in the community are in jeopardy the world over hence the need for community ethos and creation of a conversation between grassroots practitioners, policy advocates, research and academia, policy makers and the implementer. The symposium encased a motley of approaches from the grassroots, practitioners, researchers and academia, policy makers and implementers from all over world, uniquely modeled to gainfully engage members of community and their leaders to improve governance and encourage community accountability. While COPASAH has been ru...
