PHM-Exch> Global Health Summer School & Conference - Berlin 14-20.Sep.2014

We observe that the healthcare industry is becoming increasingly dominant,
profiting from over-diagnosis, over-treatment and over-consumption while
basic health needs are not met. At the same time financial resources are
being shifted within this evolving system to benefit shareholders,
management and bureaucratic procedures, while the professionalism of health
workers’, medical institutions and science are becoming ever more
compromised  by financial considerations.

To foster debate and discussion on these developments, the Institute for
Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics (Charité -
Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and International Physicians Against Nuclear
War Germany (IPPNW) invite you to the following Global Health Summer events
in Berlin:

- a one-week Global Health Summer School (September 14-19, 2013): "From the
power of the market to the health of the people"
Participants will learn and discuss how health is being converted from a
public good and basic human right to a corporatised market commodity
worldwide.

- a one-day Global Health Conference (September 20, 2013): "Corporate
Capture of Health - a threat to Science and Democracy?"
A public, one-day conference to deepen debate on the issues raised at the
summer school and to open up the discussion to the general public.
