<div class="moz-forward-container"><font size="+1">Dear PHM-friends<br>
<br>
</font></div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><font size="+1">True to its
yearly tradition, the Geneva Global Health Hub is setting up a
series of public briefings and civil society workshops in the
run-up to the Executive Board of the WHO. In this e-mail you
will find some more info about the workshop "Back to Alma Ata:
WHO, democratic space and citizens’ participation in shaping
health policies", which will take place on January 18 between
1PM and 4PM CEST and which we organise with Viva Salud.<br>
</font>
<p><i><font size="+1">Community engagement and participation were
at the heart of the Alma Ata Declaration in 1978. The fourth
article of the Declaration states that “people have the
right and duty to participate individually and collectively
in the planning and implementation of their health care”.
More than 40 years later, this sounds like a faraway dream.
Social movements and activists defending the right to health
are facing increasing pressure all over the world and
citizens’ control over health policy stands at an all time
low. <br>
</font></i></p>
<p><i><font size="+1">How can we change this trend? How can social
movements and health activists be involved and participate
in decision-making about national and local health
governance? What can be done to create and enhance the
democratic space for social movements defending the right to
health in WHO’s Member States? Why should the WHO relate to
these actors and questions? And how? In this civil society
workshop, we want to think with the wider movement for the
right to health about how we and the World Health
Organization can strengthen the democratic space for the
social movement for health and improve citizen’s control
over health policy.</font></i><br>
