AFRO-NETS> Bruntland speech from Winterthur Health Forum

Bruntland speech from Winterthur Health Forum
---------------------------------------------

Dear all,

Here is another of the speeches made at the Massive Effort Forum last
week in Winterthur, Switzerland. In it, Dr. Bruntland (DG of WHO) ex-
plains a little more about how she understands the popular movement
that is needed in order to 'keep up the pressure on decision makers'
and one based on 'plurality and new ideas'.

I took part in the forum, and left sensing a change of attitude among
some of the international organisations, and genuine potential to
achieve many shared aims through a popular movement. Of course the
crucial catalyst is how such an idea is received.

Will AFRO-Netters give some initial responses to the speech below or
the one from Jeffrey Sachs circulated yesterday?
