Dear Qasem,
Greetings from Community Health Cell / Peoples Health Movement!
I am a little surprised at your letter. During all our meetings at PHM Geneva-both
formal and informal, none of you brought up the matter of shift of the
secretariat. Both Thelma and I felt awkward bringing it up especially since the
matter itself was not brought up on the agenda, even on 16th at WCC by any of you.
So we have presumed that the idea was shelved for the time being and we decided to
go ahead with establishing a small unit called Peoples Health Watch in CHC as an
alternative which would support you and Balaji as we have done all these years
informally.
There was not only no mention of the need for change in PHM meeting Geneva, there
was also no letter to us formally from the secretariat or to PHA-JSA Convenor to
put it on the agenda. So how can we decide on the matter? It was therefore
presented as a shelved proposition to be taken up at a later date when such a
request is received or minuted it a PHA meeting. Otherwise it looks as if we are
keen to take it over which is not the case. I think PHA core group should discuss
this and make a decision. Our support continues as always formally or informally.
We would certainly be willing to lake up such a responsibility and could dialogue
with you and others on the modalities and time frame for this it this is still a
need.
Best Wishes,
Ravi / Thelma

Dear Ravi,
I am surprised to see, in Bhopal meeting the issue of CHC taking over the
nsibility of PHM Secretariat did not come up for discussion. Why one
of you did not bring it for discussion ? This issue has to be discussed by the
Indian group. What do you mean by CHC were to take up the PHM secretariat
responsiblity at some later date? I thought it will be good to convene the
$ 'J next
PHM Core group meeting at the future location of PHM Secrtetariat.
Is there any chance we can get the Indian decision before the PHM meeting
in November 2002 ? It would be good for the group to develop a concrete future
plan and strategy with resource mobilisation in November meeting; ------------

Dear Ravi and Thelma,
Thanks £<_>x your rioLe with the good news.
I do hope that with the Bhopal endorsement, the secretariat can now shirt to
Bangalore. I assume you have notified Qasem about that endorsement with
copies to secretariat members. The letter from Qasem and Maria is
encouraging. Do you foresee hinges? If you think yes, give me some ideas how
I can start something privately and discretely by contacting people.
I see that PHM India wants you to help internally. India being the largest
PHM, that is not altogether bad....but more work I gather.
I'll double check the five member international link croup is on pha-exch. ,
uUv I think they are, except Vandana.
I t is a good idea to write to Olle. I will do so today too.
A consortium of donors is good regardless of DHF support, I think; write
the proposal and I'll be glad to give comments.
I agree that without strategic thinking we may not make
headway. There is quite a few of us who will help the Cell. My support is
unconditional.
Re the undercurrents, they have existed from the start.; both regional,
political, old-timers.... But there is enough commonalities of purposes
still to steer things in unity. We will just have to tread water slowly and
with lots of requested feedback via pha exch. But the fact remains that as
PHM we have to take stands on all relRvant issues...and that is a weeklv
task; we won't get the visibility wc need otherwise.
Great to read about Global Forum for Health Research (Forum 6). When is it?
I think I have to go to Mozambique Sept 16-27. Does the date fit? I have not
seen David's note.
Re the WSF 2003 and Asian Social Forum at Hyderabad 2-4th January 2003,
great to promote the Peoples Health Charter tehre. I have to see if I can
come.
Ravi, I will De in Mumbai Oct 30 to Nov 3 doig a health and HRs workshop tor
Oxfam working with CEHAT. I'll arrange somehow to come to Banglore, We can
then perhaps discuss the first Alma .Ata anniversary meeting of
2003 and other stuff.
>
Graet that you can start a regular piece for PHM exchange.
An Indian website sounds good. Is Andrew more responsive to update the inti
now ("with the help you are giving) ? If not, we HAVE to move on and bypass
him...nothing personal.
Perhaps I do not need the WHO corporate strategy now.
That would be it amigos.
A warm hug

Dear Olle and Niclas,
Greetings from Hanoi!
It has been ages since we communicate. I miss you guys.
The Indian PHM met in June and endorsed CHC to take over the inti
secretariat.The technicalities are now under discussion and we hope things
can happen soon.
I wanted to informally explore with you the possibilty of some material
support for Ravi and Thelma's work. I do not need to tell you that a small
(functioning budget is necessary to take on the job with the dedication that
*;e are now going to have (Ravi has permission fro CHC to do this full time).
Plans are for having a much more all inclusive, particiaptorty follow up of
what PHM is doing and will be doing. PHM will be taking more stands on
issues after discussions thru pha-cxch and will need to have a physical
presence in some key meetings. CHC will be writing a short proposal about
this snortiy.
It would be great if you could contact Ravi directly to tell him how DHF
could help. Ideas you can give him re the upcoming short proposal will also
be welcome. A copy to me would be appreciated.
In all fraternal honesty, you have been known not to respond to our messages
very promptly. Please do not let this one fall through the cracks.

!car Claudio
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
This is just a note for you further to our communication of 11th June (not for circulation). In the last few weeks a lot has happened.
i) We had our JSA (PHM India) meeting on 15th July at Bhopal which I had
reported on in a short communique sent to you all which got on the PHA
exchange as well (though it was not originally intended for wider
circulation)
ii) At PHM Geneva, there was no discussion on shift of secretariat. No
one brought it up at any time and Thelma and I therefore decided that it
would be a good idea just to plan to support Qasem and GK secretariat
(tore actively from April 2002. Therefore at the Bhopal meeting we did
not put up any specific proposition and got just an overall endorsement
for CHC to take up the International secretariat responsibility if this
was specifically requested at a later date.
iii) The India group was a bit concerned that my increasing involvement:
and preoccupation with PHM International level may remove my 'leavenrole
at National level so much against my wishes I was made a j^a^convener
with three others from India with a mandate to stimulate the process of
communication among constituents of PHM in India.
i v) A five member Tnf.e rnar i rma 1 link group was formed within PHM India
consisting of Ekbal (ckbal@vsnl.com); Mira (mirashiva@yahoo.com); Mohan
(mohanraoSbol.neL.in) ; Vandana (chauklial@yahoo.com) and Anil
(ctddsr@yahoo.com) to support CHC in the International initiatives and
with the secretariat, when that matter comes up. Incidentally could you
ensure that these five email Ids are included in the PHA Exchange as a
beginning. Ekbal and Mira may already be there but Mohan, Vandana and
Amit may have to be included.
v) Last week we got a letter from Qasem and Maria mentioning that the
shift was always on the agenda and the silence (!) at Geneva was because
they were waiting for the Indian PHM endorsement first before taking
(the next steps. We have all now' tried to sort this communication problem
and finally we have Okayed and confirmed that we are ready. Now IPHMC
must decide when, how and what will be the shift. We await further
clarity.
vi) As preparation for this we in CHC had initiated a small unit called
Peonies Health Watch with me as convener and a secretary and four
volunteers to get familiar with PHM background, publication, files, past
Communications etc. I am planning to write to Oils as suggested by you,
but am also wondering whether it would be better to have small inputs by
a consortium of donors rather than have one group supporting it all. I
shall write a proposal of PHW / PHM and would like your comments on it.
I shall link it to your proactive reflections.
vii) There’s lots to do but without strategic thinking we may not make
headway. There are also undercurrents, which were obvious to me in
Geneva. Old core versus new enthusiasts and promoters; IPHC versus other
networks; the cautious and tired versus the bold and sometimes over
enthusiastic; also a wide variety of commitments to the implicit
political analysis of the charter. Perhaps the challenge is to steer a
unitv of purpose in this diversity.
viii) OuV lobbying with Global Forum for Health Research (Forum 6) has
yielded a good harvest. Now David Sanders, Zafarullah, Christiane (BUKO
- Germany), Thelma and myself have been invited as resource
persons/faculty for the Forum 6 at Arusha, Tanzania. Can you also make
Tote
it so that there may be an opportunities for strategic thinking? You may
have seen David's note for other PHM participants, since he is
ix) The WSIT 2003 wrlx be a Key rallying point. There is going to be an
Asian Social Forum at Hyderabad z-4r.h January 2003 as a runner up event.
PHM India is deeply involved recognizing the intersectoral opportunity
to promote the Peoples Health Charter perspectives with so many
professionals and activists from other sectors. It will be Kolkata
repeated 4-5 times enhanced. If some of you could make it, we could have
a good brainstorming - also the first Alma Ata anniversary meeting of
2003 perhaps.
More details follow. Keep in touch.
Bsstz Wishes from both of us
Ravi Narayan
CHC / PHM
P.S: While going through all your mail, I discovered few queries not
responded to
I shall start a regular piece for PHM exchange soon covering together
ideas and issues from all the communications we receive.
- We are talking over the India website soon. Let the international one
remain with Andrew. We formed a communication circle with Unni, Sathya,
myself and others in Geneva to support its strengthening.
- T do nor. have rhe WHO mrporar.fi strategy on email but as hard copy.
Where do I send it to you?
- Olle Niclas do not communicate promptly - perhaps you can nudge Olle
to get in touch. We had a good interaction at DHF

Dear Qasem
Maria and Others
Greeting from Community Health Cell i Peoples Health Movement!
There seems to be a ccmmunicstion error, which I would like to sort out.
I have just been on the phone with Sunder who is recovering from Typhoid
after the JSA meetings in Bhopal and hence the minutes have been
delayed. My message to all of you was just intended to give you in
advance a summar'7 of the discussions relevant to the secretariat shift
and the international support role for CHC if that wore to take place.
Please read it carefully. What I have tried to convey is
a) CHC's role in PHM Geneva ano the gains at WHA was endorsed.
b) A small support group was identified to support CHC in its continuing
activities and if it took up the secretariat at any time.
However since in Geneva-PHM meetings there was no discussion on need
timing etc of the secretariat shift- when would it be a good idea to do
so? How 'would the new base be supported? etc, etc — the PHA meeting in
Bhopal could not minute a date or month or any definite proposition. I
coo could give no time framework. It is tor PHM core group to either
wait for the formal minutes (advisable) and treat my letter as advance
notice only and write to Dr.Ekbal as convener with copies marked to
Dr.Sunder and CHC giving a scheduled about when you want the secretariat
to be taken over; what will be PHM's supoort role and any other terms of
reference or clarifications. There was never any doubt about CHC being
cDdOrSSd tO take OVet the Secretariat OH behalf Of the India 100'1001 OUt
only a matter of procedure because of Amit and Amitavas caution at
earlier meetings. However I was not being formal when I said in my
letter to Qasem that there was no letter to us or Ekbal about it. This .
is nust a matter oi procedure especiax±y on as a important matter as
hosting of an international secretariat. Till now I have not seen a
tQrrr.ijj, minute or communication about the need to shift secretariat. A_L1
the discussion is going on in informal circles and in Geneva there was
total silence or. the matter, hence the inevitable communication problem.
Hope Ibis sorts out the mailer and reassures you all. We are ready. Tell

Bangladesh as he begins a Masters
with him on the 6th of August and
the meeting dates.
I appreciate that it
I doubt he will be able to go to

let you know.
I am also puzzled by the correspondence and discussion with Ravi and not
bringing up the transfer of the Secretariat at the recent Indian meeting.
have reread all the relevant correspondence which you so clearly reviewed
in your letter to Ravi on 30 July.
I
d
I think there was no question of bringing this up to the group in Geneva as
it is an Indian decision.
I hope that the Indian Movement will see the cruciality of this issue and
resolve it before our meeting in November. I see no other way of being able
to make the transfer of the Secretariat without that authorization from the
Indians.
Dr. Ekbal, perhaps you have suggestions as how to resolve this situation.

Dear Ravi,
I could not understand why you are surprised to my last letter. Shifting
of PHM Secretariat issue first came up during October 2001 meeting. During
the discussion India particularly CHC name came up. Amitava said he needs
time to discuss within the PHM-India group before any acceptance.
On November 2001 you mentioned you could build in support to or
facilitating the secretariat if i) this is an overall consensus in the PHA
2001 group ii) The Indian circle also endorses it. You invited me to the
next National Coordination Committee / National Working Group meeting of
the Indian PHM which took place in Chennai on 21/22nd linked to the All
(India People's Science Conference with a request to discuss the proposal
with Indian JSA and the secretariat issue which I did. In that meeting Amit
and Anand said they now heard the proposal but they have to discuss among
themselves before taking any decision. I thought my presentation of the
proposal as Coordinator of the Secretariat was official one. In that
meeting none of the members mentioned about the need for a formal letter
from the PHM Core group for Indian-PHM or for CHC. I do not understand why
the question of formal letter is coming now.
In your 21sL January email you further wrote "Regarding the shift of
secretariat idea pending further clarity on the Indian side, I have written
a communication and am sending it to you so that you can forward it to
whomever you think need to get it in the context of the discussion at the
Oct. meeting." I appreciate your good gesture.
In your 14th February communication on "PHA Secretariat shift", you again
mentioned "It was brought up at the Chennai meeting but since there was not
enough time to go through all the agenda the final decision was postponed
to the next meeting in March / April 2002". This meeting ultimately held on
15th July in Bhopal. Obviously I was expecting a decision from this
Meeting. This is what I mentioned in my last letter. I do not know what
made you think the idea was shelved for the time being.
Based on the above correspondence, I had the understanding that final
endorsement of the proposal is lying with the Indian-PHM. After that PHM
Core Group (IPHMC) will send formal request letter to the concerned
organisation.
I think no body thought of any rationality to bring the PHM Secretariat
shift issue on 16th May in WCC in Geneva before one gets a response from
the Indian-PHM.
If I misunderstood any of the previous correspondence, discussion etc., I
am sorrv for that. I will be happy to get advise from all of you about the
future direction on this issue
With greetings.

Indian PHM
group agreed to CHC hosting the secretariat and formed an International
^link
Vgroup to help the facilitation. The confusion was that throughout the

meeting both formally and informally no one neither Qasem not you, nor
core
group members raised this issue. So we presumed that it was not an

proposition. Please road the correspondence and minutes carefully. It is

the International core group to send a formal communication now and
anyway my

How and

Dear P.avi, The email from Z is typical of him. Mo need to overreact. In your
attempt Io be polite about the move of the secretariat he reads indecision.
I would not tall into this game. Just restate unambiguosly that the meeting
in Bhopal endorsed the move to CHC. Sweet and simple.

I ain confused with various correspondences between you and Qasem. It was
dscidsd unofficislly in ths Isst r.iootincj of ths PHM coro group in Ssvar
that PHM Inti Secretariats should be moved to India (some European
specifically wanted ’CHC’ as the Inti secretariate). Unfortunately both you
and Ekbal were absent and Amitav for obvious reason wanted Indians to
decide the place of the Inti Secretariate at a later date. You and Qasem
attended the Madras (Chenni) ire e tine in Dec 2001 and so far I know that
Indian PHM in Madras wanted to discuss the issue of shifting of Inti
Secretariate to India at" a later date.
Decision of the Indian PHM about Inti Secretariate in India is not yet
clear in your current letter of 27 July 2002. Why do you say "If the CHC
were to take up the PHM Secretariat responsibility"/ has it not yet been
■■lecided by Indian PHM?

Dear Ravi,
T an-1 very upspt

smart. Why are you trying to put responsibility of Indian members on me?
Initially, you try to blame Qasem, now you are blaming me? How wonderful!
Who is "we" iSc we -oresumed that it was not an immihent proposition, > Zou
and Thelma or all Indians? Do not try to camouflage. It is a clear
understanding, as I have told and also mentioned in correspondences between
you and Qasem that Indian Member will decide the issue, of Inti
Secretariate to 'nd1' a themselves in Hhcr'al riiootiirc. Why ths Indian issue
should be discussed in Geneva unless Indian(s) raise it.
It was your and other ±ndians responsibility and duty to raise the issue in
Geneva meeting. Definitely nor mine. You should read all correspondences

My understanding is that "How and when” can not be decided by Qasem alone,
it is a matter for core group meeting. E.Kbal should write to the core group
directly.

Dear Zafarullah and Qasem Bhais,
p)
IM
C)
The earlier letter sent today to all of you, we hope will brine some
larity to the continuing confusion. However we have just discovered
afarullah bhais letter at the bottom of today's pile of e-mails
ddressed to me with unbelievable allegations! He concludes from a
reading of all the correspondence between Qasem and me and others that
1. I am trying to be too smart!
ii. i am blaming Qasem and him!
iii. I am trying to camouflage!
iv. T am reading correspondence selectively.
I seem to have unsuccessfully tried to separate the two issues involved
in my earlier responses.
a] the need for the International core group to discuss the need for
shift of secretariat including when and how to support it etc.
b) The collective decision of the PHM India group of who will host the
secretariat and where and how? Whenever this is necessary.
<;hen we refer to the absence or any discussion in Geneva it is about
item (ar not item (b) . The need and timing for a shift, is an IPHMC
decision. How can Indians take it? So we thought that PHM Geneva was a
missed opportunity since so many from.the core group were there. Item
was discussed. in Btiopsl snd trie minutes is toeing sent to all of
I think you are all, especially Zafarullah, reading into 'lines' and
'words' meanings chat are not Intended. However if 'politeness' and
'procedure' are being given all sorts of unfounded connotations and
insinuations then it seems we are all beginning to lose trust m each
other and this is bad for PHM solidarity.
Cl-iC-Prfr\
I have shown all this recent correspondence to the seniors of our CHC
team a^d we have "just decided that till this mistrust is sorted out, we’
in CHC would like to withdraw our offer to host the secretariat, since
it is impossible to accept the responsibility in such an ethos of
mistrust. Let it remain at GK and we shall continue to support it as
be fore.
He realise that Zafarullah bhai does noI represent all PHM and perhaps
this may be has personal view but since he is an important pillar or the
movement and a member of the core group we cannot but take his letter
very seriously. In honesty I must state that such a letter from him,
especially it's tone is against the spirit of solidarity.
?;e suggest that this matter be brought up in the November meeting of the
core group and all the misunderstandings be cleared before any shifts

Till then we shall continue our work in the India region and support
International PHM as the Convenor of the WHO-WHA circle as before.

At a mot ■e personal level. Thelma and J were going to cflbf tn solidnnrty, fe> corns/o-”'

a proper orientation by Qasem who has done such a good job till now and know/the”

thought we would come and share the Medical Education Project findings and oiler
a workshop on community oriented medical education. What do you think about
tiie idea? Is it convenient? Is it necessary?
lOJustfy fiysi note about the Peoples Health Watch unit in CHC. In CHC, we have a
society of around 40 professionals who are members of the Society and who govern
us through a 7 member executive committee, which meets from time to time and
endorses our annual plan of action; our budget and financial management; and our
audit etc., during Annual General Body meetings. Our next meeting is on 26u'
August and we enclose our mutual report lor your information.
With the interest in getting more involved with PHM at different leyelsfmany of
zyoti may nor realise mar when some of us quit medical college in 1983, nearly
twenty years ago - we set out to help evolve and support a peoples health
movement and so our enthusiastic involvement in PHM at different levels is for us a
culmination of a long standing objective not a diversion or just another initiative).

Dear Zafarullah and Qasem bhais,

recent communications between all of us about the proposal to shift the
PHM Secretariat. This is to ensure that any undercurrents that may be

or-jconvening the iu^tist^vos of tbo WHO_W HA. lobby
circle for PHM. We have kept the secretariat informed about all of
this. We would be glad to just continue doing sc.
2. Since the October 2001 meeting at Dhaka and perhaps a little, before
it there have been suggestions and sounding out about whether CHC would
be willing to consider running the secretariat as an example of another
region taking over. We have had detailed discussions with you in
Bangalore and later with Qasem, Prem, Mira in Chennai. The matter came

3. In the discussions that v.7e have had with all of vou on ip.anv
occasions, thete wete at least two undercuttents that we became awate or
(a) there seemed to be a feeling among some of you that some members of
the core group at International level were trying to push for this
change and that this was not an overall consensus. Also that they had
suaaested CHC. The issue and discussion at Dhaka were never minuted so
till today, there is neither documentary evidence of a discussion on
this or the decision or divergent opinions about this matter.
(b)
Amitava raised in Dhaka some issues about the need for the 'shift to
India’ being a collective decision by the Indian JSA and Amit in Chennai

before a hasty endorsement. Both of these were valid 'cautions’ as far
as we are concerned.
CHC
4. Tn India, Dr. Sundaraman, nnr proactive joint convenor took up this
matter informally, with as many people in the NWG he could meet and
discussed all aspects of this possibility, during his travels over many
months.
When we all met in Bhopal finally on Ibth July 2002, not only
was a lot of time given to me to report on all the international
developments and initiatives in PHM, but this was appreciated and
endorsed. It was then decided that CHC could be the International
Secretariat whenever this move became necessary or feasible or desired
by IPHMC. A five member international link group was established for
India consisting of Ekbal, Mira, Mohan, Amit and Vandane, with me as

Decisions in t?io Minutss
5. Whan the matter of the shift cams up, all I could report - since T
was totally handicapped by absolutely no discussion or decision in
Geneva that this was not yet imminent-at least it seemed so to me and
Thelma Because no one aiscussed it informally or formally. We are
talking about the need or necessity for the shift not the decision about
India or CHC in particular. In the last session in Geneva, after the
our new plan of action for the next three years an initiative called
Peoples Health Watch which would support Qasem in the PHM Secretariat in
whatever way possible or if we were specifically requested to do
anything else other than WHO/WHA circle. Mwajuma remembered this
commitment or ours and has been exploring whether I could visit Africa
to support them on behalf of PHM. As far as we are concerned the
undercurrents in India have now been democratically tackled and we have
been endorsed collectively; and have an additional support group to
facilitate this process whenever IPHMC decides that it is necessary and
feasible.
5. Now, regarding the undercurrent in the international core group, it
^■doesn't seem to nave completely gone. Since even Zafarullah mentions in
c Issiz
extio —s
"so’T's Europsxn s^sci f icxll v wxntscl 'CHC
*
xs
t/=e I lit SlTiX" 101
*1X1
SeCx etxriat,z .
We are not ready to take over the secretariat if this feeling
continues. We are keen to rake up rhe responsibility only if TPHMC
feels it's a good idea and everyone or at least the large majority
endorse it. We don't wish to become a 'pawn' between North-South
conflicts since we see PHM as an expression of North-South solidarity
and collectivity. Because of our own long established credibility and
contacts CHC has had links and has worked with a lame variety of North
and South groups and networks, but it would be unfair to PHM and to us if this move continued to be interpreted in a ’conf1ictual' manner
between regions, groups or individuals.
7. We now suggest that the wav to co forward on this is to bring ’the
shift of tne secretariat' on to the formal agenda of the proposed
'November meeting'. You have an endorsement from India for CHC to
shoulder this responsibility, if IPHMC endorses the idea of the shift
formally from the current base to another one. But for both
ni~xnsT?xrsnev xnd xccountxlDilit'7 1st it
x fo2?mxl decision xftss?
discussing and clearing all aspects of the shift including the
undercurrents at an IPHMC or core group or other such meeting. Even if
this means a little more delay by a few months 'procedure' is better
than 'haste'.
3. where is tne November meeting being planned? In GK—Savar? Any
dates? Zafarullah, David Sanders, Thelma and myself have to attend Gi'HH
Forum 6 in Arusha, Tanzania, from 12th to 15th November - so if you
want me tn attend it will nave to be clear of these dates. I have also
offered to visit Africa from 4th to 9th November - a week ahead of Forum
6 to help Mwajuma, Malachi and others with some PHM activities in Kenya,
Uganda and Tanzania out this could also move to after Forum 6 if it
clashes with the November dates.
9. Qasem has suggested that the next meeting could be at the new base.
We ace willing to host a meeting in Bangalore. From the Iridian PHM
(USA) point of view, it would probably may be better to host such a
meeting closer to the Asian Social Forum (ASF) meeting in Hyderabad
2-7th January 2003, since that wav we can get many of you to participate
in the health related panels and workshops of the ASF. The core could
2 uf 3
PHM
8/16/02 6.54 PM
meet in Barcalore on 31st December and 1st January and some of you could
join tne ASF m Hyderabad for a few days from 2nd January.
10. A final note about the Peoples Health Watch unit in CHC. In CHC, we
havs a society of around 40 professionals who are members of the Society
and w?:o govern us through a 7 member executive committee, ’which moots
worn time Lc Lame and endorses our annual plan of action; our budget and
financial management; and our audit etc., during Annual General Body
meetings. Our next meeting is on 26th August and we enclose our annual
report for vour information.
With the interest in getting more involved with PHM at different
levels. CHC decided to host a Peoples Health Watch unit from April 2002
for the next three year phase of our centres activity A.pril 2002 - March
2005. (Many of you may not realise that when some of us quit medical

we set out to help evolve and
support a peoples health movement and so our enthusiastic involvement in

matter informally, with as many people in the NWG he could meet and
discussed all aspects of this possibility, during his travels over many

When we all met in Bhopal finally on 15th July 2002, not only
was a 1ct or time given to me to report on all the international

endorsed. It was then decided that CHC could be the International
Secretariat whenever this move became necessary or feasible or desired

talking about the need or necessity for the shift not the decision about
India or CHC in particular. In the last session in Geneva, after tne
Technical Briefing, I also mentioned that we in CHC were setting up, in

Greetings from Community Health Cell - Bangalore!
This note is being written on a more personal note, in light of the recent
communications between all of us about the proposal to shift the PHM SecretariaLko
ensure that any undercurrents that may be still around are tackled before suclra
opwfciiiona! iscd.

Since the October 2001 meeting at Dhaka and perhaps a little before it there have
been suggestions and sounding out about whether CHC would be willing to
consider running the secretarial as an example of another region taking over and as
an expression of shared but moving responsibility.
We have had detailed
discussions with you in Bangalore and later with Qasem. Prem. Mira in Chennai^py
mtffTIie matter came up in the Chennai meeting ofthe JSA (PHM - India) in
December 2001 as well, hi the latter, howevet,'h-^«st0MMul^iiofDe talcen due to
shorings of time even though ( )<isem w<is <i special! invitee and brousht up the
matter verbally.
In the discussions that we have had with all of you on many occasions, (here were
al least two undercurrents that we became aware of (a) there seemed to be a feeling
among some of you that some members of the core group at International level
were trying to push for this change and that this was not an overall consensus. Also
that they had suggested CHC. The' issue'
eg discussion at Dhaka were never
minuted so till today, there is neither documentary evidence of a discussion on this
or the decision or divergent opinions nbont this mutter, (b) Amitava raised in
Dhaka some issues about the need for the ‘shift to India’ being a collective decision
by ihe Indian JSA and Amir in Chennai fell there was need for more lime for people
to discuss tills in JSA before ahastv endorsement.

Tn India^'Stindaraman. our proactive joint convenor took up this matter informal lv<
with as many peoplejte could meet and discussjml aspects of this possibility, during
his travels over many months. When we all met in Bhopal finally on 15'“ July

We are not ready to take over the secretary if this feeling continues. We are keen to
take up the responsibility only if TPHMC feels it’s a good idea and everyone or at
least the large majority endorse it. We don’t wish to become a ‘pawn’ between^)
.North-South conflicts since we see PHM as an expression of North-South

We now suggest that the way to go forward on this is to bring ‘the shift of the
secretariat’ on to the formal agenda of the proposed ‘November meeting’. You
have an endorsement from Lidia for CMC to shoulder this responsibility^!!'IPHMC
endorses the idea of the shift formally from the current base to another one. But for

other are evolving. An international e-group called PHA exchange was also initiated
In October November 2001. the peoples health charter was presented at a global forum

In October 2001, the peoples health charter was presented at the Global forum for health
research meet al Geneva (forum 5) by Ravi who replaced Dr.Ekbal al the last minute.

activists from all over the world who had played a lead role in the PI-LA also registered
through accredited NGOs to attend the WHO meet.
On 13 Mav these 35 panicmanis attended a special briefing session organised by WHO
civil society initiatives for NGO participants. The PHM group, which was the largest in
the briefing session could use this session to make 3 points :
a) Not to confuse the private sector with not for profit NGOs under a common termcivic society’.
b) The need to look at the relevance of WHO’s health concerns and themes, given
the health problems of the majority.
c) The continued imnonance of the PHC approach to through which technical
strategies like aging etc could be channelled.
The PHA was also represented in the panel discussion organised by the NGO forum for
health. The PHA had taken along a 2 member media team (Unni and Sathya) supported
by Nupur who highlighted PHM concerns and responses throughout the 5 day assembly.
A backgrounder and a number of press releases pre pared for the occasion were also
distributed to the ^ress.
As a result of a constant advocacy efforts throughout the 5 days the DG , WHO and her

attendance for this session. The secretary of health of Philippines. Dr. Manuel Dayrit.
chaired the session. Dr. Zaffrullah started the briefing with a humorous hut powerful
warning on where the privatisation drive is taking WHO. Dr. Ravi then presented the
background of the PHA mobilisation and the key elements of the charter Using OHPs lie
should the evidence of dismal performance even in priority- areas. He listed out 5 key
messaces io WHO that emerged from the charter. These 5 messaces had been short listed
by the PHM participants during preparation for this session.( See annexure). Concerns
from Latin American, African and European regions were then presented by delegates.
The PHM at the international level has also initiated a dialogue with UNAIDS and
furthered the dialogue with the global forum for health research. Many other groups have
also evinced interest of linking up with PHM.
It is also worth noting that the set of 5 books published for the PHA by JSS in India have
been used as course material in the Centre for International Health at Bercen, (Norway)
at Karolinska institute, (Sweden), at the London school of Hygiene (UK). Ravi and
Thelma completed a series of workshops at the former two institutes before WHA.
Eight background papers were distributed in the July 15th meeting on these international

On behalf of MFC Sarojini shared with us what activities and issues MFG
has been active with. The last years annual meet theme has been on Nutrition and Food
security and thev have out together a number of key pacers on this issue. They would
also be organising the session on the same theme m 17“ to 20 ‘ October m the lAWSf

She then gave a brief report on MFC action on the Gujarat genocide which was taken up
for discussion later/ this is discussed tn the separate section). She also called attention to
the anonymous note on population policy circulated in the ministry and its retrogressive
nature and the need to act on ensuring that this did not become state policy.
AIDAN and VHAliMira Shiva presented a number of initiatives that VHA1 had taken.
One was the drun po!icv consultation held in March, other was a consultation on PNDT
act and yet another was o the blood bank policy.
She also highlighted a umber of emerging issues like in assisted reproductive technology,
the push for institutional deliveries etc. She drew attention io the struggle of Bhopal gas
victims where 85% had not received compensation and those who had received less than
Rsl 3.000 per head and the changes in Union carbide administration and the nature of
proposed prosecution that was making justice even more difficult to obtain.
Mira Shiva also described the work on various state VHAs coordinating with JSA and the
action of MPVHA on the issue of gender violence.
Stthas of NAPM,Ravi Narayan of CHC and Abhay of CEHAT , FOR.CES were other
groups who presented their organisation's work in this period — as related io JSA,
CHAI had held a major consultation on the issues facing small health care providers
especially as regards regulation and maintenance of quality etc. This was held in
coordination with the JBA N WG and the workshop was useful and well appreciated.
World Social Forum:
Am it Sciigupia introduced the topic, giving Che background to how the World Social
forum had emerged as an important international platform of resistance to globalisation.
Ho stated that there was a proposal to hold the regional meet "Asia Social Forum” in
2003 January 3fd to 7th at Hyderabad. And sought the participation of the Jan Swasthya
Abhiyan as a network in this programme. Vinod Raina also emphasised the need for the
widest possible participation and elaborated on the nature of the platform. All the
participants contributed to the ensuing discussion. There was unanimity on the decision
mat we should participate actively and involve all the JSA constituent members at both
the state and national conferences. The active role of trade unions was seen as a welcome
development. There were suggestions that we focus on environment and occupational
health and on issue of privatisation of waler. There were many other suggcslcciTssues for
workshops as well" such as Rttzht to Health care, Right to social services^ as intersectoral
issue):Rmht to Food. Druss and patents, Women and Health, Bhopal sas tragedy
highlighting JSA campaigns and work.
Then on behalf of the WSF organisers a suggestion was placed that we plan for one
seminary out of 25 planned al ASF) and 5 workshops( on I. of 100 workshops
planned).There are six conferences planned and health would find a place within the
conference on social sector which is being decided on by the main programme
committee. It was farther clarified that the fixing of the numbers was done by the
National organising committee of WSF and even the approval of the workshops.
seminars etc would be decided by them. Also there are financial implications which
would limit how many workshops we could hold etc. Since with this information we
could not decide, it was decided to seek more details from the national committee and a
subcommittee of 8 persons was sei up to decide on further action on this regard. Java
Velankar was .proposed as convenor for this subcommittee and for organising this activity
and thus was agreed io by the participants.
'jti>arai yjeiiociue:
Sarcjini of MFC reported on the Gujarat communal riots and killings and on the pathetic
situation in the refugee camps even as of today. She stressed that it was a continuin°
tragedy. Moreover it was a public health issue - not only as a result of the enormous loss
of life and health due to die violence, but also as the public health system had clearly
collapsed in the moment of crisis and as there was clearly discriminatory' access to
medical care at the time of communal strife and even afterwards. She detailed the action
that MFC had taken and the book documenting the public health crisis published based
on the enquiry conducted by the MFC team. The MFC had also informed both the NHRC
and the professional bodies for action with regard to the Gujarat situation especially
calling for action against medical professionals who had been part of the violence.
In rhe. ensuing discussion there was one round of discussion on whether the JSA as a
body had acted adequately. Most felt that even wh.de recognising that all the individual
members and state groups had been active on this issue through other networks . this JSA
network must at least have gone on record and registered a formal protest.
There was also considerable discussion on the difficulties of helping in Gujarat from
outside the state. An appropriate sustained response could be only supportive of the two
networks inside Gujarat that were already engaged in this work instead of working
naraliei to them, i here was aiso a general consensus that the public health dimensions of
tb issue so well thought out in the MFC book needs to be highlighted and professional
bodies encouraged io develop and ethical position on these issues.The MFC book was
bought by all participants. The report of the Oxfam facilitated Bangalore response for
peace initiative-resource team visit which included Dabu Mathew (NLSUI); Thelma
Narayan (CHC); and Srinivasa murthy of (NIMHANS) was also distributed.
One specific follow up action proposed was writing to MCI to deregister prominent
medical professionals involved in leading or organising violence and seeking guidelines
to prevent similar public health crises in the future.
Organisational Issues and Action io be taken:
i.
Currently the JSA has onlv one convenor Dr Ekbai and one n convenor, Dr
Sundararaman. I1, was proposed and unanimously accepted io expand (he joint
cuiivenoiTid include Abhav Shukla. Ravi Narayan, and Aniit Sengupta as well. In
addition, Vandana Prasad would provide liason support at Delhi level, and
Saiojim would work for better coordination of JSA with Networks of Womens
organisations being also designated joint convenors for that limited purpose. This
expansion of the joint convenors should enable more visits to states and more
proactive interventions at the policy level by this group. They would divide the
work amongst themselves for this purpose.
2, The imemaiional link group of the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan would be made up of
the following- B, Fkbal, Ravi Narayan. Arnit Sengupta, Mira Shiva.. Mohan Rao.
This group would coordinate JSA responses and interventions at the international
level. The group coordinator would be Ravi Narayan. Whenever the move to shift
the Dhaka secretariat to India materialises this group would also acjt as the
faciiitatorv sroup for this with the secretariat located at CHC Bansalore. While
the international secretariat will function under the evolving IPHMC, this India
Link group however wiii be concerned with Those decisions and responses that are
made by or on behalf of the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan and will support CHC in this
new role. W’e also understand that Ravi Narayan is on behalf of CHC, playing a
significant role in furthering the PITA process at the international level, including
betnu the convenor of the WIIO-WIIA lobby circle of FI.(M which organised the
PHM Geneva event, which we welcome, and support.

request all the state level organisations, which are part of JSA to join into the
WSF effort.
As a response to Gujarat genocide and the ethical issues raised by the related
public health crisis, state Jan Swasthya Abhiyan committees arc requested to take
note. Suggestions lor specific steps include reviewing the MFC publication on the
Gujarat carnage in professional journals, making ethics of health care an issue of
discussion amongst professionals, issuing posters iiigiiiiglitinc mat action needs
be trwen against doctors who were involved in the killings and holding
sensitisations workshops/meelings on this issue amongst people working in the
health field.

WHO chief anno unces surprise move to stand
down
WHO Director-General Gro Harlem Brundtland dropped a bombshell on Aug 23
by announcing that she will not stand for re-election when her 5-year term expires
next July. The former Norwegian prime minister said she had informed the
chairman of the Executive Board- Burma’s deputy health minister Kyaw Myintthat she would "not be a candidate for nomination" when the board makes its
choice in January.
"My decision to complete my work as Director-General at the end of my current
term reflects the fact that I have had leading positions in political and public office
for nearly 30 years, and would be 69 at the end of a second term", she stated
The news shook the UN community in Geneva out of its summer slumber and set
WHO corridors abuzz. The US diplomatic mission to the UN lauded Brundtland for
bringing "new strategic direction". The British Medical Association (BMA)
lamented her departure as premature, "identifying the problems was the first
achievement, implementing them is the second thing, and you need more than 4
or 5 years to achieve that", said BMA spokesman Nigel Duncan.
Brundtland associates said she wanted to spend more time with her three children
and nine grandchildren in Norway, and has become weary with the travel. She is
currently in southern Africa to discuss the humanitarian crisis and for the World
ainable Development. She then attends meetings in Jakarta,

oua
morale andtfonstant changes in senior
management, disparagingly called the "Harlem Shuffle" by insiders.
Brundtland took office in July, 1998, when the agency was at an all-time low She
replaced Japan's Hiroshi Nakajima, who was widely criticised for poor
management and lack of direction. She vowed to place health on the international
development agenda, to find new partners to reduce the reliance on governments,
and to make WHO more responsive.
"WHO is solidly on track to fulfil the many demands being placed on it", said
Brundtland in her resignation notice. "The critical role of health in development
has gained wide acceptance. The world has turned its attention to our priorities",
she declared.
'/’Url-ClC Se-c -e
There is widespread agreement that Brundtland successfully combined her
political savvy from her 10 years as prime minister with her zeal as a clinician to
catapult health up the international agenda. This was not least through her
Commission on Macroeconomics and Health, which reinforced the view that
health is a prerequisite for, rather than the result of, development.
But away from the declarations at summits and in policy documents, WHO
<Y\

struggled to improve its infamously ineffective country representation and aid
national health systems.
Brundtland ushered in new initiatives such as Roll Back Malaria and pioneered
partnerships, such the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, with
private organisations such as the Gates Foundation.
This opened up new sources of funding, but weakened WHO's grip. "There are
other powerful partners in health these days, from the Gates Foundation which
has injected welcome resources into the health sector, to the pharmaceutical
companies who are making donations of drugs-all of whom are influencing
international policy”, commented Gill Walt, professor of international health policy
at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Brundtland's embrace of the drug industry has proved most controversial. Health
activists charge that WHO has sold its soul to big business and has hidden in the
shadow of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) such as Medecins Sans
Frontieres on access to essential medicines. Brundtland allies counter that
WHO's quiet negotiations with pharmaceutical companies have done as much to
slash the price of antiretrovirals as the more confrontational tactics of NGOs.
Above all, Brundtland looks set to be remembered for her crusade against
smoking. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control -scheduled for
completion next August just after she leaves office-will likely be weaker than she
wanted, but will be the first international treaty against a product which currently
kills 4 million people a year.
"She has done a tremendous job on tobacco. She single-handedly put tobacco
control back on the agenda", said Amanda Sandford, research manager at ASH.
"That will be a lasting legacy to Brundtland."
Behind-the-scenes jockeying to take up the reins has already begun.
Governments have until November to submit nominees. The 32-member
Executive Board decides next January and this is, in theory, endorsed by the full
World Health Assembly in May.
With the exception of Nakajima's 10-year tenure, Europeans have traditionally
held the post. Brundtland's closest challenger in 1998 was Sir George Alleyne of
Barbados. Next year, developing countries may feel that! it is their turn.

Dear Friends.
Below are the minutes of the Aman Ekta Manch meeting held on the 30th of August to
evolve an action plan for the 6th December campaign. As has been said earlier and we
reiterate that the event has been planned such that it remains detached from a mere
ritualistic and sorrowful recalling of the original demolition drama and becomes an
occasion for resolve, for re-imagining our heritage. This is in the background of the fact
that the well orchestrated demolition of the Babri Masjid has been a blot on the spirit of
India. secular nationalism and this is celebrated by the Hindu risht wins communal forces
as the day of victory' when the rule of the Mughal kings which according to them
symbolized slavery of the “Indian” people was abolished!!
Regards,
Aman Ekta Manch
MINUTES OF AEM MEETING HELD ON 30 AUG 2002 FROM 3.30 PM AT VP
L/ WNS
The foliowin a were the points discussed in the meeting presented in serial order:
1) The meeting was chaired by Khursheed, The main objective of it was to discuss the 6
Dec. plan approach and action points. The 6 Dec Joint Campaign got discussed at micro
and macro level.
2) The writers association meeting held on 29 Aug was discussed. Gopi Chand Narang
and Ashok Vajpayee had initiated the meeting, which resolved to safeguard the writer’s
identity snd heritage symbols demolished in the recent Gujarat pogrom Ali Jafri outlined
the details about the planned contribution of political parties to sensitise citizens about
the contributions of Wali Dakhani/Wali Gujrati. On 5 Dec., they are planning a Mushaira
and AEM will join it. Talkatora Stadium could be a venue. Sheila Dixit will be contacted
for logistics.
3) The main focus however was that can there be an overall blanket program in Dec.,
networking all secular platforms and all concerned? Kiran Shaheen remarked on the
coincidence of ‘Id’ falling on 6 Dec. 2002. A proposal to light an oil lamp in every
secular household in Gujarat came up, to amplify the secular grass root forces in Gujarat.
4) Should 6 Dec. program be held under ARM? Since all those present had no objection.
it was decided that currently the program would be held under AEM, and later it can be
thought of giving a new name-1 if anyone has objections. Also all mass organisations and
NGOs could come with their banners for the 6 Dec. program. It was also proposed to
invite activists from Gujarat for the joint program in Delhi.
5) After much discussion, the venue for 6 Dec. program was decided to he in front of Red
Foil. If it does not work, alternatives are Palika Bazar (Lawns at Top) or Ferozshah
Kolla. It will be a davlong nrogram.

A rsvisw and planning masting brought, together 47 people from 20 countries..
more than half of which were in the South, it was the first opportunity since
♦ha People’s Health Assembly (PHA) in Savar, Bangladesh in December 2000
for such a large international gathering of PHM participants to meet. Most of
the peopie at the meeting '.other than those based in Geneva) spent the entire
eek in Geneva and took part in - range of meetings and discussions. Their
presence had a visible impact on staff of the World Health Organisation
hA/t-iO) This cost of the meetings was met by individual participating
organisations: no PHM budget was available for the meetings. This is a ’way in
which resources available within the network can be mobilised and used to

into the curriculum of some medical schools. Available in electronic and print
formats.
Published a quarterly newsletter to share information on the activities in
different countries, and to share learning among the network. Tremendous
activities in many countries.
Regional meetings have been organised. Recently one in Africa, one in
Nicaragua.
In October 2001, small group of PHM core met to try to develop new
structures. After PHA. felt we needed some structures to give it more footing.
Basic structure is two type of circles: geographical - with a link person to a
regional, then link to an international circle - 13 regions; 14 member
international body
Working circles: those that support the PHM forward, helping the secretariat;
and those that are based on issues: women’s heatlh, globalisation, etc...
every country will develop their own national working circles, again linked to
the regional circle
List of participants who have taken part in the Savar meeting. Helps to
develop and strengthen tne networking and to share the experience and
resources.
Request from WHO and other organisations to send representatives to the
PHM to various meetings. In the last year, we were at the WHA, and through
the NGO Forum, promoted the PCH, this year will have a technical briefing.
Also represented at the Global Forum for Health Research, IICD+5, LDC
meeting in Brussels, UNESCO. Social Forum.
Published the stories and testimonies of the PHA
World Bank session also coming soon.
Process to develop the circles is slow. It takes time. If anyone has
contacts in different countries, please inform sect about possible
organisations to involve in the PHM.
One of the weaknesses is getting sufficient information into the
secretariat.
For secretariat jobs, representation, fundraising, sect needs §
supporting circle, which has been suggested, but not yet in place. The
only active working circle is the WHA/WHO working circle.
Thelma: sect done a great job to keep us informed and socially embed the
process
Americas:
Sarah: Accomplishments to date is that we have a small US circle, with plans
♦o move forward What we hope to do in the next couple of years is to grow,
forcus outreach with NGOs on international health/community-based
developed, trying to get a website up, planning three gatherings a year,
around existing conferences. Focus is to support the PHM and global
campaigns. Long-term vision is to build links with goups in the US working on
local health issues in the US.
Convenor this year is Docs for Global Health; Hesperian the vice convenor
Key strategy: Building on resources and opportunities that already
exist.
Maria:
Follow up meeting in Latin America, in Nicaragua in Dec 2001. In Latin
America, we work through a regional committee for commuinty health. We
want to work on health care reform issues in Latin America and the Free trade
agreements for Latin America. Working on this at regional and local level
(doing awareness raising at community level and at policy level). US wants all
the countries in Central America in a free trade agreement by next year.

’Here comes the grass roots! We are moving through the communities and
ths villages and working with people who are isolated.
Since the PHA, coming back to Brazil, I wemni back io the communities to
give them a report of what we did at the PHA. Enthusiastic reaction and very
quickly, the chatter was produced in Portuguese. In each communities we
studied the charter and asked each community to select a priority issue and to
identify ways of dealing with barriers. Povery, political issues and Military
issues are a key threat to health in many of these villages. For example, there
is the development of a space base which has been displacing people. Where
they have been moved to, there is no production from the iana, so now there
is hunger, no employment, overcrowding, tuberculosis and other diseases.
The military and fed gov moved these people illegally, as they were
indigenous populations that are meant to be protected under the Brazilian
constitution. Working with people to protest. The final agreement on the
accord with the US on this has not yet been finalised by the Brazilian
congress because of the protest.
Created a committee for tne defense of the area and the people into which the
PHM is involved along with other Brazilian groups and institutions.
Also dealing with the free trade agreements for South America. US is insisting
that these be agreed by 2GG3. In Sept, in Brazil will push for petition to vote no
in Brazil
In these communities, there is no high tech: those who have, work on three
levels, the local, the high tech and the interchange

Africa:
Mwaiuma: It has taken us about 7 months to go through aprocess to have an
East African meeting in Tanzania in Apr/May 2002. Going to report on
grassroots level, national and regional.
Our major aim in having the meeting was to refledt on the PHA and see how
the Charter cvouid be used to strenghien systems and activities in Africa, and
start a campaign on comp phc
Identify issues
Strenghten the movemnt
Dif to bring people together, did not have money to pay people perdiems, we
invited many, but were only able to provide accom, meals, transport. Had very
few people: Ken, Tanz, Uganda, Zimbabwe - Confirm support for the PCH,
identified issues, welcomed a draft version of the Swahili charter, encouraged
other local versions of the charter; developed interim coordinators for Ken,
Tanz, Ug and Zim as for region.
Participants reviewed and discussed the health issues in Africa, looking at the
range of disease conditions and the social, political ana economic
determinants that affect people’s health. Among the diseases highlighted
were:
. HIV/AIDS
o TB - increasing partly due to HIV
«
Ebola fever
e
Malaria - increased drug resistance
•
Typhoid fever
« Cholera
• Measles.
Participants stressed that HIV/AIDS was a serious problem for health in
Africa, hut not the only problem, and that it was important to look at the
context and ensure that sufficient resources are available to prevent and treat
other leading diseases.
The social, political ana economic determinants that were impacting on health

o Gender insensitivity - increases the disparity in access to health services.
The health system tends to be gender blind
o Conflicts and wars
• Qorirlar Violence
o Cultural beliefs and practices - particularly affecting sexual and
reproductive health
« Environmental issues - including water and sanitation, deforestation and
natural disasters
o Lack of basic infrastructure - transport, deterioration of the health system,
including lack of quality services.
Access to clean water is a clear local issue.
Participants also visited Baqamoyo District Hospital, where trained staff were
forced to volunteer because there were no paid posts for qualified staff.
How are wo cjoincj to w_rk with local and national governments was also an
issue ihai was raised in the workshop. Thought that the Charier could be a
useful tool to help hreek the silence around better health See the role of PHM
as a unifying force to bring together groups.
Also identified issues to raise at the international level:
o Engender the charter
c Equity around the use of the female condom
• Ensure women who are delivering are safe ffrom contracting HIV

to see whgt to do next Exchange visits to groups in asia might be a help The
major problem is the ethnic clashes.
Using the Charter has veen very useful. Being used a lot as a teaching tool for
commuity-based work.
Mwajuma: issue of exchange visits was discussed at the Tanz meeting, but if
we are not recognised by governments, it will be difficult to do this kind of
work, without funding. We need to be able to raise funds for this type of work
which could be vitally important.

ifmqaj Thanks for ~ein0 receptive to the involvement of medical students in
the rHM and at inis meeting. iFiviSA is a federation of nationai medicai
student organisations active in 84 countries worldwide. Each national
organisation is autonomous and have a panapoly of activities. iFMSA
attempts to maintain a non-polifical stance on health issues. IFMSA has not
signed the Charter; intefnaunally, rare for IFMSA to do this. However, many of
our national bodies have been active in PHM activies. We feel a orimarv role
;g to 1st students know what is cut there if they should choose to become
aavoactes. several ii-msa advocates have taken on hum work.
Students were present at the PHA and subsequent meetings where possible.
.Active students are beginning to create a small circle interested in the PHM
IFMSA has bad activities that relate to the Charter; for example, at our 51st
general assembly in Aug this year, we will have a primary health care
'workshop to educate about the need for PHO. At the 50^ general assemnbly
in Denmark, there was a major event and Zafrullah Chowdhury took part in a
round tobls discussion thct outlined ths work of ths PHM
This provides an opportunity for students to get involved at the grassroots
level We wiii continue io make students aware of opps for advocacy through
the PHM.

WHO and attended a meeting here When I returned to Italy, I began to
promote the PHM within IFOR and it began to snowball. Presented charter to
IFOR general assembly in June and it touched everyone. What I am going to
tell you about is what I know is happening, but I am sure there is more
happening. Charter nas peen put into itaiisan and is oeing reproduced in
various publications and media. We have been busy with networking at
national and international ievei. Dif medicai counticis in dif part of itay have
requewstind Info about charter and several have sighned; medical cstudents
have been involved; environment and anti-globalisation groups have invited
information about the Charter.
At international level, by visiting projects and speaking at various meetings, I
have been able to spread information about the PHM and the Charter. At
international level, the response has not been as good as it has boon in Italy.

Sauna Hall, Global Heaiih Council — if you are going io do something next

Dear Ravi,
Please see a one page Indian Post PHA work report that I have prepared earlier lor a new
paper. You may add whatever activities you know by different groups as well as our
international interventions.
Hope vou will send back the revised report soon. Balaji says he is out of touch with PHA
now.
Ekbal
Peoples Health Assembly - Follow Up Programme in India:
Dr. B. Ekbal
(Nation.al(India) Co-ordination Committee Convenor PHA)
At the time of the National Convention itself, (Calcutta, Dec 1st, 2000) it was decided that we
would continue the broad platform established for the national health assembly as the Jan
Swasthya Abhiyan (translated: Peoples Health Campaign). After the successful completion of the
Peoples Health assembly at Dhaka the National Working group decided to hold its first post
Dhaka meeting in Mumbai on January 14th and 15 as tire NWG of the JSA. This meeting was
held and it drew up a work plan for the subsequent year. Under these guidelines the following
work was carried out.
1 .The Peonies Health Charter - both the one adopted at Dhaka and the national charter adopted
at Calcutta was translated into state languages and simultaneously released in various states on
April 7 . This dale (that is world health day) was observed by the JSA constituents as health
rights day with seminar and press conference held in most states. The press conference also
highlighted the state of health in the respective state as gathered from the widespread dialogues
conducted st the villa.se level with people.
2.Policy Dialogues: it was decided to so ahead with policy dialogues over the course of the year
on four themes—sex selective abortions; population policy, control communicable diseases arid
regulation of the orivate sector. Of these the first on Sex Selective Abortion was held in Rohtak
on April 13- 14 .It was well attended and led to clarity on what policy changes the JSA
constituents must advocate as well as what independent action we can take. It was decided to
continue the advocacy work at the state level and to have a coordinated campaign on this issue in
August.
3.Drug Policy: the FMRAI hosted a convention on the coming pharmaceutical policy and
changes that need to be incorporated in it. This workshop was held in June 14m at New Delhi.
The convention decided to launch a signature campaign calling for a people oriented
pharmaceutical policy. FMRAI would coordinate the campaign. A workshop was also held by
JSA with the national working group on patent laws and Medicins Sans Frontiers on patent
policies with reference to drags for AID.
4.
Nationai
Health Policy: On September 1st the Union government unveiled a draft national
health policy. On Sept 13 & 14 the- JSA. executive committee met for two days at Mumbai and
considered this policy in detail. A critique of tins policy was written up for release to the press as
well as a oaraeraoh b oaraaraoh redraft for suasestine to the ministry. This has since been
submitted to the ministry of health. This has also been made available to all states and JSA
organizations. We are now moving towards a coordinated press release from all state capital on
November 3r^ criticizing the policy
5. Al! the 20 organizations that constitute the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan have been asked to re
discuss the post -Dhaka mandate and endorse their participation in the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan.
Most have done so. in most states the PHA committees have been reconstituted as JSA
committees with a more prominent role being given to those who have played an active role
during the last year of work. Some state JSAs have adopted an active coordinated work
programmes extending to the block level -notably Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Uttar
Pradesh. Delhi. In other stales like West Bengal, Kerala and Andina Pradesh the lead PSM
organizations have continued active work in this area.
6.It has been decided to start a Newsletter and a Website for the JSA.

However, I have some problems with the timing. The Hammarskjold

My suggestion is test toe rest of the group meets at the time you

stay a day or two to be brought up to date and, hopefully, contribute

Dear Andy,
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
Its disappointing that you will not be able to join us. We hoped that a
finance group meeting could take place soon after ASF. Olle has just
confirmed that he will visit Bangalore on 13th to 15th January on his
way back home from a meeting in Myanmar. Qasem, Zafarullah, Prem and I
hope to meet in Hyderabad at ASF or soon after on 7th at Bangalore to
discuss the budget and forward it to you for further follow up with
Dutch governement etc. I had mentioned in my earlier letter that we had
budgeted for ASF to support a few members from Sri Lanka and other
countries but because of the delay in the budget, action on this is
pending. Qasem has suggested that we may tap the funds you are still
holding for PHM secretariat for this. But perhaps if you let us know how
much balance you have after the GK-Savar meeting, travel support and
other costs were met recently.

Dr.Bancrji will be pleased go ahead and put it on the exchange. The
secretariat shift notice must have reached you. Note a small
typographical errors in the second paragraph. CHC become secretariat
rrom 1st January 2003 not 2002. Will Keep in touch soon alter ASF, which
is evolving into as hectic and interesting meeting as the JSS at
Kolkata. Should I write a short letter to PHA exchanges as the new
Global coordinator? I was planning a monthly chatty, but proactive piece
- brief and pithy. Do you think it will be a good idea?

Dear Qasem and Prem.
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
Further to all our criss-crossing mails over the last tow days, this is
to confirm that the meeting on the PHM secretariat and budget will be
held in CHC on 7th January from 12 noon till 6,00pm. Qasem, Thelma and I
are booked on the Jet Airways flight (9W3524) on the 7th morning at
8.35am (reaching Bangalore at 10.05am) and Prem is also booking on the
same flight. We are making arrangements for you both to stay overnight
at a suitable venue. We have noted that Qasem is booked on 8th morning
lo Kolkatta. Prem could leave by mail if he wishes to or by lalbagh the
next morning. The Alma Ata workshop will finish around 6.30pm or 7.00pm
- too late to catch the trains on 6th wliich are around 5 and 6 pm.
Overnight bus will be too tiring and bad for my spondylosis. Thelma
leaves for Kerala also on Sth morning. We think its better to have the
meeting in the venue of the new secre tariat away from the hustle-bustle
of ASF. Looking forward to the meeting. Please note that Olle will visit
CHC on 15thT6th January to follow up on our discussions.

Greetings fi -m the Peoples Health Movement Secretariat, at CHC,
Hangalore. From
1st January, the secretariat moved to Bangalore
from. GK-Savar Bangladesh and I 'nave been really busy with the ASF
Hvdsrshsd event end later meetings in Bangalore with meitbers of the PHM
Jteerm-u cottmtzee - Qasem, Prem and Zararullah who visited us soon
after ASF.
This is to follow up on some of our discussions including more detailed
ones that ~ have had with ^rasanna recently.
. The IHM Global secretariat that I am now coordinating urgently needs
a Technical officer: Communications, who will assist me in coordinating
and responding to communications and information sharing and
fatilioatinc the dob al. website (the latter is run by Andrew Chetley LrC, and Xand, a NRI volunteer from Costa Rica who can continue to do so
only till end of March 2003).
". “ enc-o.ee a tentative draft Plan of Action which will give you some
idea about the typos of activities / initiatives planned for the Alma
Ala Anniversary year 2003 which have Lo be supported / facilitated /
coordinated by the secretariat. More details are evolving.
3. _n addition, we have discussed at the JSA (PHM - India) that the
Indian website which Balaji had managed so effectively before JSS/PHA
but
•.•ras discontinued thereafter and needs urgent rejuvenation and
resurrection can also be managed by this Technical Officer from the PHM
Secretariat - the focus of the two websites would be different but they
'■’t’-ild be inter-related is many wavs as well.
~
in the process of negotiating a three-month internship for
rasanna to join me in this work and evolve a clearer picture of
challenges involved. I am sure the technical and creative resources of
AID Banaalore could also be drawn in via his presence in the
5. We need co discuss the modalities and potentialities of this link up
and AID support to PHM Secretariat at the earliest. I believe this could
be a great contribution to the national and international effort since
good sustained - inspiring - and solidarity producing interactive
communication is so crucial to movement building. In terras of time
schedule the sooner this can be operationalised the better. So much has
alreaay started up and I need help from the word go.
v. ~ a:- .-.Is? supposed to fund raise for the PHM secretariat budget for

TOWARDS SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE’S HEALTH
MOVEMENT DURING ALMA-ATA ANNIVERSARY YEAR
(January to December 2003)
TENTATIVE DRAFT PROPOSAL
(for year January -December 2003)
(to be integrated into a larger three year proposal January' 2003 - December 2005)
[Drafted by Qasem, Prem and Ravi based on discussions on 23rd November 2002 and

INTRODUCTION
The Year 2003 is the25th Anniversary year of the Alma Ata Declaration on Primary'
Health Care (1978). This declaration was endorsed by the People’s Charter for Health
at the People’s Health Assembly in Dhaka in December 2000 and a commitment was
made to evolve action in that context in six complimentary strategies. The year
January 2003 - December 2003 will therefore be dedicated to an anniversary
reflection and a series of related initiatives all over the world facilitated and sustained
by People’s Health Movement members and constiments at local, national, regional
and global levels.
This year will also see the shift of the PHM secretariat from GK Savar, Bangladesh
(the South Asian Region) to CHC, Bangalore (the Indian Region).

Charter for Health and all its translations.
b.
Follow up meetings, consultations and networking to facilitate the fiirther
evolution of the People’s Health Movement in certain regions of the world
where it is still not very strong. In 2003, the focus will be on West Africa and
the South East Asian region in particular.
c. Strengthening of the website to moke it a more interactive and to become key
information resource link and monitor of PHM activities and initiatives all
over the world.
d.

Dear Olle,
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
I just saw both your mail of 11th and 13th. Sorry to hoar that you may
not be able to visit Bangalore. 16th January was find and perhaps even
better than 15th January since the latter is a Harvest festival in the
south. But it tickets are difficult than we have to wait tor another
opportunity.
We shall be away on a PHM -lecture tour in the US from 26th February
till 15th March. Zafarullah, Thelma and I have been invited as
international resource persons to a Bay Area Health conference on the
theme " People's Health in People's Hands: What works and who decides,
and to follow it up with a 8 city tour presenting PH Charter in meetings
b-.’ith Civil Society NGOs, academies on behalf of PHM-USA, facilitated by
^Hesperian Foundation and other groups.
You will have to find a date before that in February. We may visit the
Rockefeller Foundation and other US agencies since they all evinced
great interest in the PHM at the Global Forum for Health Research in
Arusha, Tanzania in November 2002.
Best wi sties

P.S: Incidentally what happened to the DHF Initiative on What Next? I

Dear Ravi,
Some problems have arised which make my visit to CHC a bit uncertain. The
stories goes like this. 1 did not manage to secure a visa in Uppsala because of
Christmas holidays but planned to do that in Bangkok. This seems to work OK but
the problem is that the embassy is not open on Monday and Tuesday. (My plan was
to pick it up on Tuesday and leave from Bangkok early Wednesday morning.) Now I
can only leave on Wednesday evening and reach Bangalore Thursday morning 16 Jan
and then return Friday morning to get on a flight in Bangkok on Friday night.
The first question now is if you are there on Thursday 16 Jan and if you are
available to meet with me.The second problem is if I can get on a flight to
Bangalore; two of the actual flights seem to be full and I am on the waiting
.list. I need to look into this further over the weekend but may not be able to
'give you a final answer until Tuesday afternoon. I would really like to use
this opportunity but it seems the constraints are many.
It would be good
if you could send me your phone numbers at the office,
at home
and also your mobile phone. My mobile phone number is 46705673051. I will keep
my mobile on but it is not always sure that il works.
I would appreciate an answer asap if you are available 16/1 so I can continue
to work on this.

the past 15 Years. As I did many things with CHC I focussed my work on urban health. You may be aware about
the 4th international conference on Urban Health to be held in Toronto, Canada from 26th to 28 October 2005. I
had applied for a scholarship to participate and to share my work. I have been awarded the scholarship to
participate. On my way back I will be coming to London. I will be reaching London on 31st October and stay till 6th
November. I would like to come and meet people in One World Action and I would like to share my work with
Health Link Worldwide also. I need your help. I need an invitation from you which will help me with my VISA.
In the invitation you need not mention about my Canadian visit as it may complicate the visa formalities. Please find
my personal deatials attached in the Canadian invitation for you to include in your inviation for me.
Looking forward to heraing from you.
With regards
Yours sincerely
Chander.

Re' Mr. S.J. Chnader’s visit to London
Dear Ravi
Many thanks for this email. Sadly I will be in Angola for all the time that Mr. S. J. Chander plans to be
in the UK. Due to my absence it would probably best if HealthLink could provide visa letters etc and
off course arrange meetings while Chander is here in the UK.
Best wishes

Alioth er World is Possible!
Another Asia is Possible!
Let’s Build It !
Building
World
Another
World Social Forum - India
invites you to join the process
of conceiving and constructing
Asian
alternatives
to
globalization
People’s movements across the world are
working to identify and demonstrate that
the path to sustainable development and
social and economic justice does not lie in
nco-liberal globalisation but in alternative
models for people-centred and self-reliant
progress.
In 2001 and 2002, the World Social Forum
process has explored and proposed such
alternatives, and questioned the rules of
governance and investment being set by the
World Economic Forum. The people’s
argument is that Another World IS Possible.
It is an argument based on both vision and
reality.
The World Social Forum developed as a
response of the growing international
movement questioning the neo-liberal
economic policies being pursued in most
countries and capitalist-led globalisation.
As the clock moves towards the 3rd
international gathering of the 2003 World
Social Forum at Porto Alegre in Brazil,
WSF-India invites you to the city of
Hyderabad, to take leadership in dialogue,
discourse and design to formulate an Asian
blueprint for building another world - a
plural, just, responsible and shared world
which accords equal dignity and rights to
all its people.
The Asia Social Forum 2003 will focus not
only on the impact but also the processes
of neo-liberal globalisation that is creating
a small global, ‘over-class’ and a vast,
increasingly marginalised and vulnerable
under-class in every country. Every part of
the process seeks to draw out people’s
perceptions regarding the impact of neoliberal economic policies and their
attendant divisiveness on their daily lives.
Local forms and idioms will inform the
language of resistance and the formulation
of alternatives.
Asia Social Forum 2003
2-7 January 2003
Hyderabad, India
Connecting Across Asia
Asia’s own diversity and spread invites and
demands interaction and connections across the
continent. The variety of Asian cultures, faiths
and traditions provides to the process a rich
resource to explore. The Asia Social Forum 2003
proposes and seeks participation from all the
many Asian sub-regions so that the process builds
and yields a rich exchange bringing together
Central Asia, West Asia/Middle East, Soidh
Asia, North Asia, South-East Asia, and reaching^
out to the Pacific.
't he WSF India is working to build contacts
across Asia to develop an initiative to form an
Asia Solidarity Group/Network, which
mobilise participation, support and assistance
from organisations, movements and networks^
from all over Asia. We welcome ideas, advice,
and suggestions for the WSF-India Working
Committee, to help make the Asian Social Forum.
a working example of unity in diversity. We
invite proposals on content and specific activities
and events. We hope especially for interest and
response from groups and networks in Asia, to
give the Hyderabad setting a genuinely (nil)
Asian heart and character.
To join the network, organisations and
interested individuals can register (add your
email in ‘Join the ASF Network' on the website
, www.wsfindia.org).___________ •_____________ y
