fast! </p>

developments as well as on global mobilisation efforts made towards the
PHA3.<span> </span>PHA3 is less than 5 months away
and we call upon the movement to fully engage with the mobilisation processes
ensuring this PHA to be people-centred and a vibrant platform for the PHM to
further strategise towards Health for All!</p>

constituencies and mailing lists. Many organisations such as Health Systems
Trust, Equinet and International Health Policies dedicated an editorial or
space on their website announcing the PHA3. We encourage everybody to follow
their steps to spread the word about the PHA3 and as such ensuring the Assembly
to be a people driven representative health activist event! Feel free to forward this email across your networks as well.<br></p>
