This event is organised around the Community Working Group on Health (CWGH ) 18th National Meeting.


The Global Health Watch is designed to seek answers to why so little progress is being made in promoting health across the world and also to articulate solutions. It proposes an alternate vision of health located in a vision of equity, rights and empowerment. It is a collaborative civil society initiative, co-ordinated by the Peoples Health Movement, Medact, Medicos International, Health Action International and Third World Network. The Global Health is contributed to by researchers, academics and activist from across the globe. The Zimbabwe Launch shall take place during the Community Working Group on Health (CWGH) National Meeting on the 17 of November 2011 in Harare.

* Takes a view of current issues and debates on health systems.

* Discuss issues beyond Health Care – the different determinants of health

* Watches global processes and institutions that are crucially important for health and health care

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

Yet while some have made notable progress, others have fallen short. It’s time for our leaders to take action. Earlier this year we achieved a major success when, thanks to ONE members like you, Tanzania’s President Kikwete agreed to champion this issue with his fellow leaders. But he needs your support. Leaders are meeting next month in Addis Ababa and we need to make sure they hear our message loud and clear.

When you meet in Addis Ababa please recommit to investing in agriculture and nutrition to help pull 31 mi...

Urban Refugees’ right to healthcare services in the wake of COVID-19: Leave No One Behind

By
As the global community tirelessly grapples to contain the spread of COVID-19, I am worried about the fate of hundreds of thousands of urban refugees living in Uganda; a country with an ailing healthcare system that is largely characterized by drug stock-outs, shortage of health workers, limited access to health services and limited coping capacity. That notwithstanding, Uganda hosts approximately 1,394,678 refugees fleeing persecution, conflict, devastating effects of climate change, and human rights violations from neighboring countries such as Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan among others. Out of 1,394,378 refugees, 66,464 refugees reside in Kampala (Kampala central, Makindye, Kawempe, Nakawa, Nansana, and Rubaga). Non-recognition of their status as refugees, especially Congolese demonstrates their unique legal, social and economic vulnerability which threatens their basic human rights, including access to healthcare. In addition, living conditions am...
