PHA-Exchange> Support for People's Health Charter

[sunil.deepak at aifo.it]

Dear all,

Today I have received a wonderful letter of support to the People's Health
Charter from the Municipal Government of the city of Pavia, which I would
like to share with you all. Pavia is a small city in north of Italy near
Milan. With these signatures arriving from Pavia, we have now collected more
than 10,000 signatures of persons supporting People's Health Charter in
Italy. The letter mentions Dr Maria Teresa Fiandri, a retired head of
anaesthesia department from Bologna hospital, who collaborates as a
volunteer with me on all initiatives linked to the Charter (some of PHM
Europe members had met her in Florence during European Social Forum).

Warm regards and greetings for a Happy Easter,

Sunil
