PHM Right to Health and Health Care Campaign update Aug 2011

It is time again to give an update where the campaign has gone since the beginning of this year.

As many of you know, the campaign underwent an internal evaluation. A PHM committee was formed last year. It carried out a survey of around 20 campaign sites in as many countries. Once the results were in, a phone or skype follow-up contact was made to clarify issues and to gather additional information.
This valuable information was used by the committee in repeated skype meetings to draft a document outlining where the campaign is going to go from now on.
