PHA-Exchange> In preparation of PHA II - part4

[Claudio]

In a nutshell, the People's Health Movement promotes a wide range of approaches and initiatives to combat the ill-effects of the triple assault by the forces of globalization, liberalization and privatization on health, health systems and health care. In more detail, these initiatives call for:

  a.. combating the negative impacts of Globalization as a worldwide economic and political ideology and process;
  b.. significantly reforming the International Financial Institutions and the WTO to make them more responsive to poverty alleviation and the Health for All-Now! Movement;
  c.. a forgiveness of the foreign debt of least developed countries and the use of its equivalent for poverty reduction, health and education activities;
  d.. greater checks and restraints of the freewheeling powers of transitional corporations, especially pharmaceutical houses (and mechanisms to ensure their compliance).
