PHM TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES:  MARCH 1 - 16

Dr. Zafrullah  Chowdhury, Dr. Ravi Narayan and Dr. Thelma Narayan will be 
touring the United States in early March to help build a PHM effort in the 
United States.  Organized by the Hesperian Foundation and Doctors for 
Global Health, the PHM tour will include meetings, speaking engagements and 
community events in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, New York, Boston, 
and Washington D.C.

The Hesperian Foundation (Berkeley, California) and Doctors for Global 
Health (Atlanta, Georgia) are working to organize a PHM presence in North 
America. Given our strategic location in the United States, we have been 
asked to focus our initial organizing on providing networking and 
promotional support for the various country and regional campaigns of the 
PHM, and work to raise consciousness in the United States about the 
challenges to health around the world posed by globalization.

"Globalization is Bad for your Health" will be the main theme of the PHM 
U.S. tour, which will emphasize how the goal of "Health for All," has been 
replaced by the reality of "Health for All Who Can Pay" in our increasingly 
globalized economy.

The fledgling PHM-US Circle is also launching a list serve, web site and is 
planning other activities and tours.  If you are a friend of the PHM and 
living in the United States, please contact us to learn more about the tour 
and get involved with PHM activities in the US.  We need your help!
