Seeking Endorsements: Comments on ‘Draft Technical Paper’ prepared for the
World Conference on Social Determinants of
Health<http://www.phmovement.org/en/node/6073>

The World Health Organization (WHO <http://www.who.int/en/>) is convening
the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health
(WCSDH<http://www.who.int/sdhconference/en/>)
from 19-21 October 2011 in Rio de Janeiro with the support of the Government
of Brazil. The Conference will be organized in accordance with the
Resolution 62.14 of the 62nd World Health Assembly and as a follow-up for
the work of the WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health
(CSDH<http://www.who.int/social_determinants/thecommission/en/>
).

The WHO has published a ‘Draft Technical
Paper<http://www.who.int/sdhconference/consultation/draft_WCSDH_Technical_Paper.pdf>’
on the WCSDH and initiated a consultation around it through inviting online
submissions.

The People’s Health Movement (PHM), in association with several public
interest groups and networks, wishes to coordinate a collective civil
society response to the Draft Technical Paper which we strongly believe is a
step back from the report of the CSDH ‘Closing the Gap in a Generation:
Health equity through action on social determinants of
health<http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2008/9789241563703_eng.pdf>
’.
