<div>While
watching the 67th World Health Assembly, PHM jointly with Medicus Mundi
International released a statement. It indicated that the MDGs
framework was based on a charity model that sought to palliate the
effects of an unfair and unsustainable global dispensation, rather than
seeking to change it. The structural problems we face include an unfair
trade regime; an unstable financial regime; a global tax regime which
drives tax competition and facilitates capital flight and tax a.
voidance; an IP regime which prevents urgently needed technology
transfer; and an investment regime which privileges the interests of
transnational corporations. The MDGs did not address any of these
structural distortions and injustices. Read the <a href="http://www.ghwatch.org/sites/www.ghwatch.org/files/MMI-PHM%20Statement_MDGs.pdf" target="_blank">full statement</a>.
