dd

Activists from the People’s Health Movement met during the WHO 8th Global Conference on Health Promotion to critique the official Conference Statement and develop a progressive call for action based on strong social justice principles. The draft below reflects our deliberation and is being circulated for further comment and debate. Please send comments to globalsecretariat(at)phmovement.org. We wish to support the progress on Health Promotion and Health in All Policies and call for actions toward health for all.

Third People’s Health Assembly (PHA3)

PHA3

In the beginning, there were thousands of people across the world working very hard in big and little ways to promote the dream of a world where a healthy life is a reality for all. In the optimistic, joyous, compassionate 1970’s it seemed that this would be possible. And was not the Alma Ata Declaration signed by 134 governments in 1978? Did not the declaration promise Health For All by 2000? When the millennium edged closer and equitable health policy was still nowhere the optimists did not give up.
