contains all the basic information about this initiative: its origins, aims, co-
ordination organisations, as well as an outline of the structure of the 2005 
GHW Report and the ways in which individuals and organisations can become

GET INVOLVED! Time to submit Case Studies

The GHW is putting out a call for the submission of country or region-specific 
case studies. These case studies will form part of the electronic accompaniment 
to the alternative World Health Report to be launched in July 2005 at the 
Peoples health Assembly in Ecuador. Some examples of case studies are:

- Positive and negative examples of policies and actions to secure improved and 
equitable access to health care.
- Examples of effective, efficient and inclusive public health care systems.
- Evidence showing the negative effects of commercialised health care on 
professional ethics.
- The good and bad practices bilateral and multilateral donors on public health 
stewardship and on the performance of health care systems.
- Case studies of the positive and negative impact of multinational 
corporations on health policy.
