Dear PHM friends,



This email as a reminder that the deadline for submitting online
applications for IPHU Savar is 14 September 2018!



IPHU will take place from 6 to 13 November followed by PHA4! CLICK HERE
<https://iphu.org/en/announcement/iphu-savar2018> to apply and for more
information



*It would be great to disseminate the call for applications within your
region and organisation and pro-actively encourage young health activists
with an interest in the themes of Access to Medicines or Gender Justice to
apply! This is a great opportunity to bring young health activists closer
to PHM. This time they will also be part of PHA4!*



The course to be held in Savar will commence as a single course, then split
into two parallel streams of specialist study, dealing with medicines
policy, and gender and health respectively, and then come together again
for the final day. This plan is a notional framework. It is currently under
development. Watch this space!



*The common curriculum* will include:



•                     the struggle for health and organized health
activism: challenges, strategy and practice, achievements and new
directions;

•                     social determinants of health: poverty, oppression
and hierarchy; alienation and exclusion; racism, sexism and materialism;

•                     comprehensive primary health care: achievements,
challenges, lessons and new directions; health system strengthening; the
politics of health policy; and

•                     the political economy of health: imperialism and
globalisation, the international financial institutions and the UN system;
local issues and global pressures.



*The curriculum for the access to medicines stream* will focus on creating
the conditions for the full deployment of the flexibilities provided for in
the TRIPS Agreement (compulsory licensing, parallel importation,
patentability criteria, the LDC waiver and the constraints and
opportunities associated with existing national laws). In support of this
focus topics will include:



•                     TRIPS plus provisions,

•                     the structure of the pharmaceutical industry,

•                     the regulation of the global production chain, and

•                     reform of research and development financing.



*The curriculum for the gender and health* *stream* will include:



•                     patriarchy and intersectionality: analysis of gender,
caste, class, race, sexuality, and disability;

•                     reproductive and sexual health and rights;

•                     medicalisation of bodies: reproductive and advanced
bio-technologies;

•                     rising fundamentalisms impacting health (resistance
to abortion and sexuality education; honour killings, violence (gender,
caste, communal, ethnicity);

•                     Health for All: role of the women’s movements -
challenges and strategies.
