It is a matter of pleasure to share with you that Peoples Health Movement
Pakistan is going to celebrate “World Health Day” by organizing
one-day “Peoples
Health Assembly” on Monday 6th April 2009, at Arts Council, Karachi with the
collaboration of Civil Society Organizations.



The People’s Health Movement is a global coalition of people’s organization
s, NGOs, social activists, health professionals, academics and researchers.
They endorsed the people’s Charter for Health – a consensus document that
arose People’s Health Assembly in December 2000 at Savor Dacca, Bangladesh,
when 1453 participants from 75 countries discuss the “Health for All”
Challenge. The movement is in full swing in more than 94 countries now.



The theme of the assembly is “Let’s get together to demand - Health for All
Now!”. This Assembly will expedite the process of local and national
discussion, debate and exchange of experiences of communities, network
conferences and workshops about the “Health for All” that influence the
health and everyone. At the same time there will be a joining together of
campaigns and organizations and groups of people across Pakistan. We are

community members, elected representatives, Ministers, Civil Society
Organizations, Government officials, NGO representatives, Media, scholars,
Researchers and professionals.



On this occasion we feel honor to invite you to participate from 11:00AM to

and thought provoking ideas would provide assembly a great learning
opportunity.  The recommendation to improve health status will be resolved
by Assembly as “Peoples Charter of Demands”, which would be followed by
movement for implementation. I would appreciate confirmation up to
