> *RTH CAMPAIGN - NEW PHASE*
> ------------------------------
>
> Following some years of coordinating PHM’s Global Right to Health Campaign
> (RTHC), a Commission was set up in December 2009, tasked with defining the
> next phase for the global campaign. The Commission was asked to move the
> campaign from assessment phase to mobilisation and to propose ways for
> better integration of the RTH within PHM programmes. The Commission has
> proposed that the RTH be one of the overarching paradigm for PHM globally
> and proposed actions to more effectively use the RTH for movement building,
> focusing on networking, mobilisation and on capacity building.
>
> The People’s Health Assembly (PHA3) to be held in Cape Town in July 2012,
> will provide the opportunity for a large number of PHM activists to engage
> with the work of the Commission, and to jointly be part of strategising and
> defining a clear programme of action for the RTH. In the lead up to the
> Assembly, we would encourage you to explore within your countries how the
> right to health could be used to strengthen country circles, with the aim
> of feeding this into workshops to be held at PHA3.
