> On the 12th September the State Government of South Australia will launch
a
> revitalised Primary Health Care Policy. This reflects the more progressive
> health policy of the year old Australian Labor Party Government in South
> Australia. The previous Government was much less progressive and did not
> show a commitment to PHC. As part of the celebration of this launch we
have
> arranged to run a session on the global People's Health Movement. Ravi and
> Prem have pre-recorded a message for this event. Our intention is to
> inspire South Australians take their place in supporting the global
> struggle for health especially the struggle engaged in by people in the
South.
>
> We have been pondering about how to inspire our colleagues, many of whom
> have little experience of health conditions outside Australia. We would
> like YOU, not us, to inspire South Australians with your ideas for how
they
> can best engage in the broader People's Health Movement. One way we
thought
> we might do this is by requesting colleagues from the People's Health
> Movement to let us know what action they would like Primary Health Care
> workers in rich countries to take as act of solidarity with them.
>
> Consequently we ask you to take a few moments to write a short message to
> South Australians about how you in a Southern country feel comrades in
> richer countries might support your struggle and your work. We will then
> present your messages and insights at the People's Health Movement session
> on the 12th September.

> Thanks to everyone and looking forward to your insights
