Neoliberal policies in Europe are currently destroying any approaches to a
comprehensive health care that people have been struggling for. More then
30% of the population in Greece is without any health insurance, drugs and
dressing materials are lacking in hospitals. All through Europe the people
are under attack by austerity and structural adjustment programmes proposed
in the name of a debt crisis – which actually is a crisis of capitalism.
Mass unemployment, racism and homelessness are rising – directly effecting
wellbeing and health of the people.
For decades the same fatal strategies have been dispossessing the right to
health of the people in Africa, Latin-America and Asia; enforced by global
players like the World Bank and the IMF as well as northern and southern
governments. The methods were the same: unbearable debt interests,
austerity, massive privatizations, unfavourable trade conditions, violent
repression of the protest.
We need to connect the struggles against this “sick system” in Europe and
globally.

 Since more then a decade the *People’s Health Movement*, a global
grassroots movement, is struggling for “Health for All” - the International
People’s Health Universities (IPHUs) being a central part of the
activities. The aim is to improve collective learning, exchange of
knowledge and experiences, networking and to develop common activities and
projects – crossing borders and following an emancipatory approach.

 Thessaloniki in Greece is the ideal place for all this. A multitude of
projects of resistance have developed over the past years which we will
visit during the field visits – discussing problems and chances of activism
in times of crisis.
