<p style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Global Health Watch is a collaboration of leading popular movements and nongovernmental organizations comprising civil society activists, community groups, health workers and academics. It has compiled the second edition of its alternative world health report – a hard-hitting, evidence-based analysis of the political economy of health and health care – as a challenge to major global bodies that influence health. Its monitoring of institutions including the World Bank, the World Health Organization and UNICEF reveals that while some important initiatives are being taken, much more needs to be done to have any hope of meeting the UN's health related Millennium Development Goals.</span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The launching</span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The PHM Global Secretariat is urging all PHM country circles to use the opportunity of launching the GHW2 for further mobilization around the PHM principles and activism on country level. This would entail organizing a wide range of pre-launching activities, linking the launching to big planned events, organizing the launch, if stands alone, to discuss and promote the content of the GHW2 rather than just launching it. </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The launching activities will start during the second half of October till the end of the year 2008. Each PHM country circle or group would decide upon a launching date, may be in linkage to other planned national activity.</span></p>
