PHA-Exch> New Issue of Social Medicine just published

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Matt Anderson bronxdoc at gmail.com
Social Medicine has just published its latest issue at
http://journals.sfu.ca/socialmedicine/index.php/socialmedicine. We invite
you to review the Table of Contents here and then visit our web site to
review articles and items of interest.

This issue is published as part of an international initiative of over 200
journals organized by the Council of Science Editors (
www.councilscienceeditors.org) to publish articles on Poverty and Human
Development.

In addition to four articles of original research we are particularly
pleased to be publishing the report of the Civil Society Organization (CSO)
partners of the WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health.  "Civil
Society's involvement with the Commission was mediated by key CSOs in 4
geographical regions --Latin America, the Eastern Mediterranean, Asia and
Africa - who were identified as Civil Society facilitators for the
respective regions. Civil Society's work with the Commission included 2
phases of work. The First Phase involved a mapping of CSOs, resources and
concerns around social determinants of health in all the four regions. The
synthesis of the information collected from this process led to the
development of Regional CS perspectives on social determinants of health and
a strategy for long-term civil society engagement around the social
determinants of health. It also resulted in an extensive mapping of civil
society partners in the regions who were sensitized and showed interest in
promoting a vision of health that centered around the social determinants'
approach."

Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
