Third People’s Health Assembly – PHA3
WHAT, WHEN &WHERE
The People’s Health Assembly is a global event bringing together health activists from across the world to share experiences, analyse the global health situation, and develop civil society positions that promote health for all. It is an opportunity to reassess, redirect and re-inspire ourselves.
PHA3 is not just about developing our movement. It is also about impacting directly on the struggle for social justice: on health for all, on decent living conditions for all, on work in dignity for all, on equity and on environmental justice.
PHA takes place approximately every 5 years: PHA1 was held in Dhaka (Bangladesh, 2000), PHA2 in Cuenca (Ecuador, 2005). During the first PHA, the People’s Charter for Health was developed.
The Third People’s Health Assembly will take place in the second half of July 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa. Exact dates to be confirmed.
