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

<br>
- a one-day Global Health Conference (September 20, 2013): "Corporate Capture of Health - a threat to Science and Democracy?"<br>
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.<br>
