PHM-Exch> Critical Health Perspectives September 2010 -- PHM South Africa

[Claudio Schuftan]

from: "PHM-SA Coordinator" <coordinator at phmsouthafrica.org>,


*Community participation has been considered one of several key ingredients
required to improve community health yet, studies from Southern Africa
underscore serious shortcomings in the implementation of meaningful
community participation. This paper explores the role of Health Committees
as a vehicle for participation in advancing the health rights of
communities.*
