Third People's Health Assembly

WHAT

The People’s Health Assembly (PHA), organised by the People's Health Movement (PHM), is a global event bringing together health activists from across the world to share experiences, analyse global health situation, develop civil society positions and to develop strategies which promote health for all. It will look at forms of action to address identified challenges and build capacity among health activists to act.

It is an opportunity for the People’s Health Movement as a whole to reflect on the global struggle, to review and reassess, to redirect and re-inspire. This through analysing our situation, reflecting on pathways, barriers and strategies, sharing of experiences and crystallising out new directions, slogans, commitments for the movement. PHA3 is not just about developing our movement. It is also about impacting directly in the struggle for social change: for health for all, decent living conditions for all, work in dignity for all, equity and environmental justice.

The PHA takes place every 5 years. The First PHA was organised in Dhaka (Bangladesh, 2000) and the Second in Cuenca (Ecuador, 2005). During the first PHA, the People’s Charter for Health was developed and endorsed. The second assembly, the Cuenca Declaration was developed. visit www.phmovement.org for more information
