Pre-WHA Civil Society Forum "Equity, Justice and Health"
at the Sixty Second World Health Assembly
Civil society organizations and social movements from across the globe met in Geneva, on 15-16 May, 2009, at a Forum on Equity, Justice and Health, organized by People's Health Movement, Third World Network, and World Council of Churches to share concerns and recommend actions that civil society views as being of critical importance for advances in global Health and health equity. Based on the discussions we present to the WHO and member countries participating in the 62nd World Health Assembly some overarching concerns as well as specific recommendations on the two resolutions on Primary Health Care and Social Determinants of Health. We urge member countries, civil society organisations and the WHO to take these into account in deliberations in the Assembly incorporate these in the resolutions to be discussed.
