precisely from the beginning of the Public Health Services privatizations in
various European countries, with a common factor: the development of the
Neoliberal politics, despite of the right, center-right of center-left flavour
of their governments, devastating the Public Health Services, and converting
them into just "Health Supermarkets". That's why our ENRH was born, intended to
combine the necessary defence of the Right to Health Care - managed by the
public administration - with the claim for a new model of Health, with the goal
of promoting health and improving the life quality, beyond any economic profit.
Protecting the Public Health Care System from the aggressiveness of the market
who sees the Health Care as a very profitable item is our
goal.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
