*Trade and Health in the Pacific*

*PACER Plus -  Should we be worried?*

*Public Forum*
*12-13 April 2010*

*City Campus, La Trobe University*

Will PACER Plus damage population health in the Pacific? Some commentators
fear that it may.  See
http://phmoz.org/wiki/index.php?title=Trade_and_Health_in_the_Pacific for
background.

This forum will bring together researchers, activists and health
professionals from Australia and the Pacific to consider a range of health
issues at stake in the current renegotiation of the Pacific Agreement on
Closer Economic Relations (PACER) as PACER Plus.

 issues include:

·        Nutrition and health in the Pacific

·        Implications of foreign investment in health care

·        Labour mobility and 'brain drain'

·        Economic development and health

·        Gender inequality

 Health practitioners, researchers, academics and activists, along with
others with an interest in the impacts of trade agreements in the Pacific
are invited to attend.

This forum is a shared initiative of the People's Health Movement Australia
(PHM Oz), the La Trobe Institute for Human Security and the Public Health
Association of Australia.

There is no charge for this event.
