PHM-Exch> PHM press statement (WHA 2009, May 18): "Declare Global economic downturn a health emergency!"

[david sanders]

Dear All,
What would Ted suggest? Should we replace 'demand' by 'humbly request'?
PHM IS attempting to mobilise in the countries where it has affiliates and supporters around the Right to Health. The global economic crisis should be included in our campaigning. I would  encourage those not active in developing a Right to Health Campaign in their countries to do so.
In solidarity,
David Sanders.

I agree, we need to speak as loudly and clearly as possible.
 
In Tanzania, government statements on the planned response to the global financial crisis have emphasised that resource allocations to infrastructure will not be reduced -- with the clear implication that resource allocations to social services will be reduced. In contrast, feminist and health activists and others are using every opportunity to argue that resources need to be increased to social services and social protection, while taking direct action to protect as well as enhance the sustainable livelihoods of women and men in both rural and urban areas.

So, let’s move thousands of people into the streets…we ( a group of PHM , HIV and MHC activists and others) are going to start working on this…18 months from now, we want 100,000 people on the mall…
