PHM-Exch> PHA3 workshop: JALI: Towards a Framework Convention on Global Health

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Eric A. Friedman <eaf74 at law.georgetown.edu>


The Joint Action and Learning Initiative on National and Global
Responsibilities for Health (JALI) will be holding a consultation to
discuss the proposal for a Framework Convention on Global Health (FCGH)
aimed at closing global and domestic health inequities at the PHA3
self-organizing workshop:

*JALI: Towards a Framework Convention on Global Health*

An FCGH would be grounded in the right to health, ensure universal health
coverage, address social determinants of health, raise the priority of
health in other sectors (e.g., trade), and enhance accountability. An
effective treaty that countries meaningfully implement will only be
possible with support and involvement of social movements concerned about
global health, such as the People's Health Movement. We encourage you to
attend JALI's self-organizing workshop during PHA3 to learn more about the
value of an FCGH; to share your views, concerns, and expectations,
including how an FCGH could advance your own efforts, and possibilities for
further connections between JALI and PHM (and your own organizations), and;
to learn how you can become involved.

The workshop will take place *Monday, **July 9, 17:00-19:00*. Please see
the final PHA3 program for the location. We look forward to seeing you!
