Dear Claudio,
Hope you were able co access my note sent to the PHA group meeting in
Savar. You must have also received Qasems letter and report of the
meeting.
I am glad that my note was seen as relevant and that it helped
the evolution of the suggested framework.
Regarding follow up in Geneva and WHO apart from what my note mentions
in the WHO and related sections, I enclose others details that will
interest you.
a)
Zafarullah and I had a meeting with Alison Katz and Eugenio on
12th October afternoon thea are the main PHA contacts. Be in touch with
them and they will keep you informed of all that is going on since my
April workshops. They are starting some discussions with staff.
Perhaps you could animate one of these while you are there.
b)
Following the Global Forum Plenary presentations on PH charter by
me, David Nabarro invited me and Zafarullah and Shereen to a more
informal dialogue and some of the ideas discussed are included in my
note. We have to be discreet about our informal access to David
Nabarro, Eugenie and others in WHO so that we don't compromise their
position. But do try and meet him if you can and mention Zafarullah
and my meeting informally - so that he knows you are one of the PHA core
group and the dialogue continues.
c)
Halfdan Mahler was as usual a very delightful and inspiring host
while in Geneva. Be in touch with him and Eric Ram (ex World Vision),
the present President of the NGO forum. They will give you their
impressions of what is happening and both the implications and
possibilities.
d)
I met a Fawzia Rasheed who was a WHO staff member, who wrote a
report on PHA for internal circulation. It was well written
(enclosed). You should meet her and get more details of the situation
and what happened after the report. She and all her friends are
excellent contacts for any Geneva based initiatives.
e)
I am forwarding her letter to me and also Halfdans which will give
you some further details but please don't forward th is to others.
Keep in touch
Thelma will be attending the PHA Anniversary Meting (UK) on 4th December
as a Southern speaker. More news later.
Best wishes,
Ravi

The Peoples Health Assembly: A Peoples Campaign
for HEALTH FOR ALL - NOW!
Dr. Ravi Narayan *
•
In 1978, an International Health Assembly at Alma - Ata in USSR, co-sponsored by
the World Health Organisation (WHO); United Nations’ Children’s Emergency
Organisation (UNICEF); and others, gave the World a slogan Health for All by 2000
A.D. and endorsed the famous Alma Ata Declaration, that brought people and
communities to the centre of health planning and health care strategies, and
emphasized the role of community participation, appropriate technology and
intersectoral coordination. The declaration was endorsed by all the governments of
the world and symbolized a significant paradigm shift in the global understanding of
Health and Health care.
»
22 years later after much policy rhetoric; some concerted but mostly adhoc action;
misplaced euphoria; assault and distortions by the growing market economy of
medicine; and a lot of governmental amnesia; this declaration remains unfulfilled and
mostly forgotten, as the world comes to terms with the new economic forces of
globalization, liberalization and privatization which has ensured that health for all is a
receding dream.
•
The Peoples Health Assembly in Savar, Bangladesh on 4th - 8th December, 2000,
preceded by a series of pre-assembly events all over the world, including the Jana
Swasthya Sabha (National Health Assembly) at Kolkata, India, on 30lh November and
1st December, was a civic society effort to counter this global amnesia and challenge
health policy makers round the world with a Peoples Health campaign for Health
forAll-Noyv!
•
About 2000 delegates arrived in Kolkata, mostly by 5 peoples health trains, bringing
with them ideas and perspectives from 17 state conventions and about 250 district
conventions that covered representatives from about 1000 community development
blocks in the country. At the Kolkata assembly, delegates endorsed an Indian
Peoples Health Charter, apart from spending two days together collectively sharing
their commitment to the Health for All campaign by participating in parallel
workshops, sub conferences; exhibitions; a march for Health; a public rally; and
cultural programmes celebrating national diversity and cultural plurality.
*
Dr. Ravi Narayan is Community Health Adviser of the Society for Community Health Awareness,
Research and Action (SOCHARA), Bangalore which was a member of the National Coordinating
Committee for Jana Swasthya Sabha (PHA-India).
2
Later about 2000 delegates from the National Health Assembly traveled, mostly by
bus, to attend the global health assembly at Savar, Dhaka. Here they joined 1453
people from 92 countries, in an unusual 5-day event, bringing together peoples
concerns about the unfulfilled Health for All challenge. The assembly included a
march for Health; meetings at which the health situation from many parts of the world
and struggles of people were shared and commented upon by multidisciplinary
resource persons; parallel workshops to discuss a range for health and health related
challenges; cultural programmes to symbolize the multi-regional, multicultural and
multiethnic diversity of the peoples of the world; exhibitions and video / film shows
and dialogue, in small and big groups, using formal and informal opportunities.
Finally at the end of a whole year of mobilisation and two very intense interactive
assemblies in Kolkata and Savar, a Global Peoples Health Charter emerged and was
endorsed by all the participants. This charter has now become an expression of
common concerns; a vision of a better and healthier world; a call for radical action; a
tool for advocacy for peoples health; and a rallying point for global health movements
and networks and coalition building.
The significance of the Global Peoples Health Charter are many. Firstly it endorses
that Health is a social / economic and political issue and a fundamental human right.
Secondly it identifies inequality, poverty, exploitation, violence and injustice as the
roots of ill-health. Thirdly it underlines the imperative that Health for All means
challenging powerful economic interests; opposing globalization in its existing
inequitous model; drastically changing political and economic priorities. Fourthly it
tries to bring in perspectives of voices of the poor and marginalised (rarely heard)
encouraging people to develop their own local solutions; and finally it encourages
people to hold accountable, their own local authorities, national governments,
international organizations and corporations. The vision and the principles, more than
ever before, extricates Health from the myopic biomedical-techno-managerialism of
the last two decade, with its vertical, selective magic bullets approach to health, and
centers it squarely in the context of today’s global social- economical- politicalcultural “environmental realities. However the most significant gain of the PHA and
the Charter is that, for the first time since the Alma Ata Declaration (1978), a Health
For All action plan unambiguously endorses a call for action that includes
•
•
•
•
•
•
Health as human right
Economic challenges for health
Socio-political challenges of health
Environmental challenges for health
Tackling war, conflict and violence
Challenges in evolving a people created health sector
This comprehensive view of Health action, as we enter the new millennium, is probably
the most significant gain of the PHA process.
3
•
The PHA process at National and Global level had many other gains as well. For the
first time in decades, health and non-health networks have come together to evolve
global and national solidarity and collectivity in health. In India, this included the All
India People’s Science Netyvork (AIPSN); All India Drug Action Network (AIDAN);
Asian Community Health Action Netyvork (ACHAN); All India Democratic Women’s
Association (AIDWA); All India Women’s Conference (AIWC); Bharat Gyan Vigyan
Samithi (BGVS); Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI); Christian Medical
Association of India (CMAl); Forum for Creche & Child Care Services (FORCES);
Federation of Medical Representatives Associations of India (FMRAI); Joint
Women’s Programme (JWP); Medico Friends Circle (MFC); National Alliance of
People’s Movements (NAPM); National Federation of Indian Women (NFIW);
National Association of Women’s Organizations (NAWO); Ramakrishna Mission
(RK); Society for Community Health Ayvareness, Research and Action (SOCHARA);
Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI).
In most states of the country, the state level links of the above national networks come
together with regional and local networks, to join the process.
At the global level, eight well known international networks and resource groups worked
together for the first time. These included International People’s Health Council (IPHC);
Health Action International (HAI); Consumer International (CI); Asian Community
Health Action Netyvork (ACHAN; Third World Netyvork (TWN); Women’s Global
Netyvork for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR); Gonoshasthya Kendra (GK) and Dag
Hammareskjold Foundation (DHF). By the end of the mobilization process they were
joined by a host of institutions, networks and resource groups from all over the world. This
national and global collectivity and solidarity was significant and must be maintained.
•> Another significant development was that this evolving solidarity found symbolic
expression in six documents at the national level and three documents at the global level. In
India there are five booklets entitled:
i) What Globalization does to People’s Health
ii) Whatever happened to Health For All by 2000- AD?
iii) Making Life Worth Living
iv) A World Where We Matter
v) Confronting Commercialization of Health Care, and,
vij The Indian People’s Health Charter.
At a global level
i)The discussion paper "Health in the era ofglobalization from victims to protagonists
ii)The "discussion papers on fhe political economy of the assault on health; Equity and
Inequity Today', some contributing spcial factors; The medicalisation of Health Care and
the challenge of Health for All’, The environmental crisis: threats to health and yvays
forward’, Communication as if people mattered: adapting health promotion and social
action to the global imbalances of the 21st century', and,
\\\)The People’s Charterfor Health.
4
These nine documents taken together represent an unprecedented emerging global
consensus.
What is equally significant is that the mobilization for the PHA process was not just eventoriented but was preceded by a range of grassroots, local and regional initiatives. For
example in India, it included peoples health enquiries and audits; Kalajathas-health songs
and popular theatre; policy dialogue; block level seminars; translation on> consensus
national documents into all the regional languages; campaigns to challenge medical
professionals to become more Health for All oriented; and peoples trains that did not just
transport health activists to the national event but also became travelling workshops and
opportunities to increase health awareness during the journey, at many stations, with
slogans and songs.
Similar initiatives, though less intense, perhaps took place in
Bangladesh, Nepal, Cambodia, Philippines, Japan, China and other parts of the world
including Latin America, Africa, Europe (from England to Latvia, Russia and Ukraine) and
the Middle East.
Perhaps the most significant gain however is, not all that took place before the events and at
the events, but, what seems to be going on after the December 2000 assembly euphoria had
died down.
At a global level, the translation of the Peoples Health Charter into several languages and
its use for lobbying has been an important development. Dutch, French, Greek, Russian,
Ukrainian, German, Nepali, Spanish, Urdu, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Finnish, Swedish the list goes on (29 languages so far). Videos for public education on the events and
issues are evolving, including the BBC-Life Series video on “The Health Protestors”.
Lobbying efforts, including the presentation of the Peoples Health Charter, is taking place
in national, regional and international for a, including the WHO and the World Health
Assembly^ public meetings; taking health to the streets campaign as a Rights issue;
discussions on the charter by professional associations and editorials in medical I health
journals; policy dialogues are beginning to happen. ZS
' Every day the list offollow up action increases.
® To conclude, the Peoples Health Assembly process was a rather unusual multi-regional,
multi-cultural, and multi-disciplinary mobilization effort that brought together the largest
collections of activists and professionals, civic society representatives and the peoples
representatives themselves, to evolve a global instrument of concern and action, and
express solidarity with the health struggles of people and the marginalised in today’s
inequitous and unhealthy global economic order. Recognising that we need each other in
a continous, sustained, collective effort, the PHA process must remind us, through the
Peoples Health Charter, that a long road lies ahead in the campaign for Health for All,
Now. The Peoples Health Assembly at Kolkata and Dhaka, were only the end of the
beginning*

[AIDS-INDIA] SC stays grant of Rs i lakh damages to AIDS victim
11/22/01 10:4C
EMAIL: gksavar@citechco.net } S^hu'flc^)
Attn: Dr. Qasem Chowdhury
Dear Qasembhai,
Greetings from Bangalore? Apologies for the long delay in replying to your
communications but since Zafarullah would have updated you after his visit to
Bangalore, I took a little more time.
1. This letter responds to your main communication of 31.10 and 17/11 and
acknowledges some of the others forwarded from the Secretariat.
2. I was glad that the reflection on Advocating the People’s Health Charter which I
sent before the Savar Planning Meeting was found useful and many ideas and
suggestions have been integrated into the new proposal
3. CHC endorses the new proposal and in a separate letter from Thelma our
Coordinator, you will get further details of which circles we shall participate in
and contribute to, after we have discussed it in greater details at our team meeting.
For the present, I endorse my participation s a member of CHC in the National circle
(am already a National Working Group member) and on
i.
Charter popularising, translating, promoting
ii.
relationship with and lobbying the WHO
iii.
Medical education and health.
I would prefer to call the latter health human power education rather than just medical
education because our focus should be on making the health team training (doctor, nurse,
health assistants and workers) all community and people oriented and sensitised by the
PH charter. In the light of CHC’s involvement as outlined in the papers sent to Savar, I
would join any other circle also if that was felt necessary or relevant by the PHA group.
4. Regarding the proposal it has evolved quite well. Just a few comments and points
of caution:
a) We will need not only to generate credible people centred alternatives but also
recognize, collate, endorse such alternatives that are continuously emerging/
evolving before and after PHA and not always linked to it It is iff collation and
endorsement rather than generation mainly?
b) In order to get international agencies to listen to us and take the charter
seriously the ‘weight’ of the presentation should be based good evidence based
positions or documents that are well thought out in scope and relevance and are
also backed by collective endorsement and representativeness. The PH Charter
is a good example because it evolved over a long process of preparation and
mobilization and an interactive discussion process. Other position papers or
documents now generated post PHA should be backed by such process and
collective endorsement. Individuals and groups must be encouraged to take
public positions on PHA themes under their own names. A PHA document
must however evolve more collectively so that we prevent the cooption of PHA
by individuals who have strong opinions or positions that have not been subject
to some form of peer review.

11/22/01 10:4C
I was not clear what we mean by 'demystification of WHO and World Bank"
Among the principles I think we should be clear about what we mean by
inclusive, mom mfc experience, it means bringing together people from
different and diverse ideological backgrounds but ensuring that a prop-people
orientation is strong. The focus is on the pro people issue not just on positions
or dogmas. Also a willingness to dialogue with these groups whom we are
critical about so that the dialogue can be in greater depth and not just superficial
stereotyping^^
.
e) I think we must be very clear about what we mean by civic society NGOs,
voluntary agency, private sector, academic, research groups, advocacy so that
we don’t club them all in one term 'civic society and make general guidelines.
Each group has a distinct role in the movement but to qualify to be representing
civic society there has to be a greater focus on membership organisations,
networks and movements and even within this there should be greater/efforts at
democratic decision making and not autocracy.
f) The idea of the Circle is a good one. But these must not be compartmentalized
but intersecting so that there is dialogue between geographical circles and
working circles. For example while it may be an operationally good idea to
allow India or China to be a separate circle and have SA without India and SEA
without China as the other two circles in the region we have to ensure that all
these four circles intersect and meet together. The South Asian Dialogue on
Poverty and Health in Bangalore was one such effort. The SAARC and ASEAN
context and their own widening links should not be forgotten.
g) The secretariat of such s global governance model of geographical and working
circles has to be mainly responsible for catalysing, facilitating these principles
and the idea of a reference group that works as an advisory and an internal audit
or social accountability group is to be further developed. The secretariat will
also have the important job to promote, push, nudge, provoke circles and circle
focal persons to get on with the job and though this is an important role not
always easy to perform I think you have been doing an excellent job so far.
From mfc and other experiences the secretariat core group must consist of a few
people who are willing to give relatively full time to this work especially in the
initial years till the IPHN gets well established.
h) While the time table for the National, regional and International PHM circles
spread over a year seems reasonable. I feel some link with WHA 2002, when
we are likely to get an opportunity to dialogue with WHO-EC and members,
should also be established. At least regions where the process has already taken
place by end April, should be encouraged to try and reach Geneva for WHA
2002.
i) Regarding WHA 2002, Zafarullah, Eric and I had some initial brainstorming. In
principle the idea has to be a combination of three or four possibilities which
includes a PHA meeting independent of the session in WHA 2002 (the latest
information from Claudio is that we will get 1 !4 hours of briefing, which is a
good start). I have written a separate note only an idea draft at this stage. I was
hoping to discuss it with Eric when he visits Bangalore next week since he has
c)
d)
to help the Geneva mobilization effort. Zafarullah had requested me to write off
to some people in Geneva to book a hall etc. but I would prefer if the note I am
sending around is subject to a little more collective decision especially in the
light of the new framework of circles. While Zafarullah mentioned that we both
were to go ahead with evolving the idea further^ and perhaps
start
preparation I think we need to go about it with a small working circle as
suggested and some endorsement from a larger circle.
j) Finally while the lobbying with WHO is progressing well, I think the lobbying
with UNICEF and other International Health players must also be stimulated /
initiated. Perhaps letters from you in the secretariat should go to more of them
after you have had volunteers from the circles agreeing to follow up the
lobbying.
k) Finally Zafarullah discussed the idea of CHC supporting or facilitating the
secretariat more substantially from 1st April 2002 and mentioned some of the
discussion that took place. We are initiating a slight reorganisation of our work
and framework to evolve a unit called People health Watch which in principle
would increase the southern voice and southern contribution to existing
networks like IPHN, PHA with a focus on people’s voices and initiatives using
contributions to websites and emailing groups and sentinel linkages with
different groups that CHC is already associated with as a communication
framework. We 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. We have a credibility and a networking record but an endorsement
is a good point of procedure. The next National Coordination Committee /
National Working Group meeting of the Indian PHM (now called Jana
Swasthya Abhiyan - JSA) will take place in Chennai on 21722nd linked to the
All India People’s Science Conference that will take place from 19th-21st. All of
us as fraternal organisations are attending. This will be an excellent opportunity
for you to discuss the proposal with Indian JSA and the secretariat issue. I $ave
circulated my reflections on Advocating the Charter. Amitava has circulated a
small minute of the Dhaka meeting; I have already shared the idea with some of
the NCC/NWG in a letter and Sunder will put it on the agenda The only issue
remaining is for you to confirm your participation and join the meeting from
20-22nd December. The AIPSN and JSA NCC/NWG will be thrilled to have
participation by GK and the PHA secretariat and there will be exhibitions,
plenaries, release of books and videos etc which will be most interesting. Do
consider this strategic opportunity seriously.
I) lam forwarding some of the mail that is doing the rounds in the Indian JSA or
are you already getting it at the secretariat?
m) If you wish you could come to Chennai via Bangalore so that we have an
opportunity for more detailed discussions on these matters, plans for WHA
2002 etc. The CHC team will participate from 19th onwards but Thelma and I
plan to join only from 20th Or 21st.
This has become^uite a long communication already. I shall respond to the WHO issues
and Claudio’s^commumcations separately. Best wishes to you and Zafarullah and the GK
team - yours sincerely, Ravi Narayan CHC

Dear Ravi,
1 have forwarded your email to Andy Rutherford who is incorporating all the
ideas and suggestions on the Reports of the last PEA meeting. We will
circulate the final draft to all of you once it is done.
1 have already written to all the Executive Board members of WHO with a
copy to PHA contact person in those country to make follow up of the
letter. I will also try to stimulate/encourage the participants and
activists of PHA to try and reach Geneva for WHA 2002. I sent two
corrected letters
on PHA letterhead for your Minister and Health Secretary to Mira by Fax and
post.
As I heard from Zafarbhai, you and he are trying to get 40 minutes time
from plenary session for PHA. Zafarbhai still thinks if we can get 40
minutes in the inaugural session ( difficult to get) after or before DG,
PHA will achieve maximum. Please discuss it with Eric when he visits
Bangalore. I also sent you Bala's email with his idea. We have to try
various options.
We did not minute it in the 27-30 meeting because we did not want the
people to get an idea that you two are pre-selected. But every one in the
meeting unanimous about two of you. You and Zafarbhai took the initiative
and all of us felt strongly that two of you should take the responsibility.
Please do not wait for mandate or endorsement from larger group. I, on
behalf of the PHA small group meeting members fully authorise both of you
to continue to work with WHA 2002 activity. You can coopt other members who
are interested or you think necessary to form the small working circle.
I will write to UNICEF and other International Health Organisations for
future engagement with PHA on various issues once the circles are taking shape.
I am confirming my participation to 20-22nd December meeting. Please send
me a letter of invitation and the venue of the meeting. Our Eid festival
will be around 17th December. I will let you know later whether I can go
Chennai via Bangalore.
My best wishes to you and Thelma and CHC team.

PHA Secretariat, Savar
December 3rd 2001
Dear Friends of the People’s Health Movement
We are very pleased to be able to share with you the agreed plan to enable the development and
strengthening of the People’s Health Movement. We believe that it provides the foundation lot
our People's Health Movement.
The proposals that were developed at a meeting in Savar in October have now benefited from
wide consultation receiving many comments. We have received many important contributions
and wherever possible these have been incorporated. We are very happy to say that all the
comments we received were very positive about the new structure and comments focused on
clarifying and strengthening the new structure. Many people went on to suggest where and how
they wanted to be involved and how to enable more people to be involved. The positive
responses have been very inspiring.
Summary of the proposal
The structure will enable places and spaces for all who wish to be part of the People's Health
Movement. At the same time we believe that this will enable the People's Health Movement to
be inclusive and transparent, democratic and open. In summary, the proposal is to develop a
series of linked circles. These will be of two types. First, Geographical Circles al national.
regional and international levels. Second, Working Circles for areas of work and activity of the
People's Health Movement. These could range from policy and lobbying issues such as one
bringing people and their organizations together to work on issues and lobbying related to PRSPs
or Rational Drugs to the work of the movement through Publications or Populai
Communications. The circles and how they link are outlined in detail below.
Background
A year ago nearly 1,500 people from 93 countries came together in the Gonoshasthaya Kendra
center al Savar to celebrate the first People’s Health Assembly (PHA2000). This historic event
was the result of a worldwide pre-assembly process involving tens of thousands of people. Win ’’
In 1978 representatives of the world’s governments committed themselves to Health for .All b\
the year 2000. The year 2000 came and the enormous distance that millions of women, men and
children were away from that right was a terrible indictment of governments and international
institutions. It was, and is, also a clear and tragic expression of the unjust and unequal w orld that
we live in today. The people and their organizations across the world that are building a People's
Health Movement believe that this must change and that we must enable a movement to advocate
for and pressure for health rights and generate credible people-centered alternatives to existing
approaches to health.
Here we share with you: 1. The new structure for the People's Health Movement
2. The timetable for the taking forward of the new structure
We believe that this new structure is crucial as we move towards developing a vibrant People’s
Health Movement. You are part of this movement and believe that the new structure will give a
space and place for you and more people and their organizations to join together in the People’s
Health Movement.
Thank you
Yours sincerely
Dr. Qasem Chowdhury
PH A Co-ordinator
1. THE CONTEXT FOR OUR PROPOSALS
BUILDING OF PHA2000
rhe People's Charter for Health
The People’s Charter for Health that emerged at the end of the Peoples Health Assembly 2000
(PHA2000) at Gonoshasthaya Kendra, Savar, Bangladesh on 8Ul December 2000 is an important
landmark, perhaps as significant as the Alma Ata Declaration. It is now an important instrument
for advocating the Health for All - goal. Its significance has at least three if not more
components:
Firstly, it arose out of a mobilization and preparatory process for the PHA2000which look place
all over the world culminating as a document that was ratified by nearly 1.500 members of
Civil Society from 93 countries. Il therefore represents the largest consensus document on the
current health situation and the challenges.
Secondly, it provides both an analysis of problems and causes as well as ‘perspectives for action'.
Health is not just bio-medical but has an economic, political, socio-cultural and environmental
dimension as well. It highlights the point that Health’ Action must involve action al all these
levels so that the deeper determinants of health are tackled. It also challenges the vertical, lop
down. market economy determined, programmes of ‘magic bullet’ prescriptions as not being
representative of comprehensive primary health care approach which was at the core of lhe
means to achieve lhe Health for All goal.
Thirdly, the charter also emphasizes in a more indirect way that the mainstream of health
including health ministries and health departments of national governments, international
agencies like WHO. UNICEF, World Bank and the corporates have conveniently largely ignored
lhe Health for All goal and sidelined it.
Challenging the mainstream
The challenge for the Post - PHA2000 initiatives is therefore to bring back lhe People's Charter
for Health into lhe mainstream of health action. This can be done by advocating it in a strategy
that challenges the mainstream to respond to it and integrate it within their evolving agenda. So.
advocating the People’s Charter for Health actively, consistently, collectively in as many forums.
meetings, workshops and also institutions, networks, at local, state, national regional and
international levels should therefore be a primary concern till we get it into mainstream thinking
on health.
PREPARATORY PHASE, WHICH WE ARE IN AT PRESENT
Building collective consensus
Building further collective consensus on People's Charter for Health within Civil Society should
continue to be the first step in every country and region. The pre-PHA2000 mobilization phase
look shape in different ways and at with different levels of intensity in different regions, and
countries of the world. Though 93 countries finally participated at lhe event, lhe participants
3
from these 93 countries did not always represent or bring with them a broader consensus from
their own region or country. In some cases there were individuals representing countries; in
others there were NGOs representing some mobilization in Civil Society; in some countries and
regions there were more collective efforts; like India where there were very intensive efforts to
organize. All were seeds for the future of the People’s Health Movement.
There is urgent need to continue this process of consensus building, to strengthen the civil society
consensus and endorsement of the People's Charter for Health in each country, region and
globally.
Some key issues in developing and strengthening the People’s Health Movement
a) Developing a core circle of individuals willing to give time to People's Health Movement
b) Focusing on Networks / Membership organizations and not just individuals or NGOs. We
are a movement and not an NGO.
c) Ensuring as far as possible collective, democratic decision making, so that all constituents
have opportunity to contribute, participate, suggest and facilitate the work of the People's
Health Movement. The organizational framework should be circular and not pyramidal.
d) Respecting the autonomy of each participating network to do other activities in the
People's Health Movement spirit.
e) Maintaining good communications between circles, countries and regions through regular
email communication, newsletter, website etc.
f) Producing 'consensus’ documentation authored collectively and not by individuals so that
ownership of ideas and perspectives is enhanced and collectivized.
g) Strengthening instruments for advocacy
4
WHERE DO WE WANT TO GET TO BY 2005?
2.
o
To generate credible people-centered alternatives to existing approaches to health.
o
To enable a movement to advocate for and pressure for health rights.
o
The People's Charter for Health should be a guiding document both for the People’s
Health Movement, for a growing number of national governments (not just Ministries of
Health) and parts of the UN institutions i.e. the WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP etc.
o
People and their movements to be enabled to popularize and use the People’s Charier for
Health and to develop and lobby for local and national level alternatives.
o
By 2005 the People's Charter for Health should be ‘on the table’ and, it and related
documents which share positive people-centered practice, should be seen as credible
alternatives.
o
That the movement is recognized as the People's Health Movement as opposed to lhe
People’s Health Assembly
o
For lhe People's Health Movement to take root so that international bodies such as (he
WHO, WTO, UNICEF, World Bank, listen to the People's Health Movement.
This could be achieved by;
the weight of the presentation of our strategies for alternatives and exposing (he
gap between rhetoric and reality.
collective pressure
the perceived weight and presence of the People's Health Movement
o
Development of specific strategies and actions with respect to national governments.
These would be focused on national level health and related policies and practices and on
highlighting the current and potential role of national government on international bodies
such as the WFIO, WTO and World Bank. The People's Health Movement should
contribute to the demystification of the WHO and World Bank etc. and demand national
level accountability.
o
We will have developed documents that present key principles and people-centered and
community based practices.
o
To have held a series of Regional People's Health Movement Circle assemblies during
2003-2004
o
We will decide if a second People’s Health Assembly, PHA2, will take place. If there is a
positive decision, we will also decide when and where. By January 2005 we will have
reviewed the People's Charter for Health.

Assumptions
1.
There is a need for a global structure and that this has to be founded, informed and
inspired by people’s experiences, strategies and visions.
2. The base should be geographical, building on our strengths. The regions of the world
should suit us.
3. Our structure should bring together organizations and movements and facilitate exchanges
of experiences, information, strategies and actions between them.
4. The focus is not on decision making though this is of course needed
5. The type of organizational structure most appropriate to the development and
strengthening of the People’s Health Movement is not pyramid shaped but circular.
THE NEW STRUCTURE
Circles
The Circles are the foundation of our structures.
Circles are created and made up of people who are representatives and activists from
organizations and are people committed to working on the issue or activity that is the focus of the
circle.
Circles are open and not closed.
Circles can have autonomy to agree on their most appropriate ways of working.
Circles should develop and agree plans for their work and share these as appropriate.
Circles will intersect.
Circles, when formed, will elect a link person(s) to link to other appropriate circles.
Types of circles
Circles are envisaged at different geographical levels and for different areas of work
Circles.
Working
Geographical Circles are envisaged at a minimum of three levels
1. National People’s Health Movement Circles
2. Regional People’s Health Movement Circles
3. International People’s Health Movement Circles
Different areas of work can generate different Working Circles. These are also envisaged to
exist at the three geographical levels when appropriate. Some may first be established at the
international level. As activity and interest is developed then connected regional and or national
circles might be developed.
A member of a working circle would come from and be on a national or regional circle. They
would be the link person for that area of work or activity on their circle.
Members of working circles have the obligation and responsibility to share their work with other
members of their national or regional circle.
9
Linking of Circles
One of the most important parts of the structure is the way in which circles link together. Elected
members of each circle will be the link person to other appropriate circles. This could be
between two different working circles or between a working and geographical circle. The linking
has many roles and responsibilities. It is key to enabling the People's Health Movement to be
more comprehensive and to making sure that the geographic and working circles share their ideas
and activities. The links can also enable us to join and co-operate with other movements and
networks.
Many individuals and organisations involved in the PHM across the world arc already involved
in specific advocacy work. The PHM aims not only to generate credible people centred
alternatives but also to recognise, collate and endorse such alternatives that emerged before and
after the People's Health Assembly 2000 and that will emerge in the future. Some are linked to
the PHM and others are independent. The new structure ensures that they have a place for this to
continue, to be able to share this better with other activists and to link with other people and
organisations engaged in complementary activity.
Geographical Regions
The initial regions are based on areas where the People's Health Movement has some strength
with two exceptions. These are West Africa and China, where we plan to have some strength in
due course.
The initial regions proposed are;
1. India
2. South Asia, not including India
3. South-East and East Asia, not including China
4. China
5. Pacific, Australia and New Zealand
6. Middle East and North Africa
7. West Africa
8. East and Central Africa
9. Southern Africa
10. Europe
1 1. South America
12. Central America including Mexico and the Caribbean
13. North America
This is not a complete or perfect regionalization of the world and through discussion.
consultation and evolution we will be able to evolve a regionalization which reflects what each
region feels is a viable and a positive contribution to the People's Health Movement. National
Circles would need to decide on what is the most suitable and appropriate region for them.
10
Some countries may feel it necessary and appropriate to establish regional, province or stale level
circles.
National circles would elect link person(s) with a Regional People's Health Movement Circle.
One elected representative from each of these Regional People’s Health Movement Circles will
be a representative for the International People’s Health Movement Circle.
Secretariat
It is proposed that there is a Secretarial for the International People's Health Movement. The
Secretariat will play an important role in catalysing and facilitating the different circles and their
inter-relationships. The Secretarial is likely to rotate after an agreed period if this was felt to be
desirable and feasible. Il is expected that the Secretariat will move every few years. Il would not
be permanently in one place. The role and functions of the Secretariat would need to be agreed.
International People’s Health Movement Circle
The International People's Health Movement Circle will be the reference body for the Secretarial.
It is also proposed that the co-ordinator or facilitator of the Secretarial for the International
People's Health Movement will be representative on the International People’s Health Movement
Circle. This will mean that the initially the International People’s Health Movement Circle has a
minimum of fourteen members.
It will be the right of the International People's Health Movement Circle to increase this if
appropriate.
Ways of working would be agreed for the International People's Health Movement Circle.
Il may be desirable for the for the International People’s Health Circle to elect a smaller group
who would be a reference group for the secretariat on certain agreed issues.
Working Circles
a) Working Circles- to enable the development and strengthening of the PHM
Working Circles could be developed for activities that are key to the development and
strengthening of the People's Health Movement itself. These will generally begin as International
Working Circles.
11
Initially these are proposed to be a minimum of
• People-centered communication
• Publications
® Communication for advocacy
® Charter - popularizing, translating and promoting
• Representation - Developing PHM positions and agreeing meeting attendance etc.
• Resources, Funding and Budget
• Developing and updating the website
® Network liaison development
• Relationship with and lobbying of the WHO
b) Working Circles - for policy and lobbying work
Working circles could also be developed for specific areas of policy and lobbying work. Some ol
these might be of a short duration and related to an activity others may be on-going. This is an
open ended list. If there is the commitment and energy to establish and contribute. These might
initially include
© Health and Militarization
• Trafficking of Women
® Violence against Women
® Anti-Privatization
® PRSPs and Health
o GATS and Health
® Women’s access to health
® Rational drugs
• Macro-economics and Health
® Good examples of people-centered approaches to Primary Health Care
® Medical Education and Health/Health Human Power Education
• Indigenous People and Health rights
Etc. etc. etc. This list will be organic and based on people and organizations ability and
commitment to do things.
Many Working Circles might be first established al the International level
In some regions for some working circles, regional circles may be appropriate and desirable.
For some working circles, national circles may be appropriate and desirable.
Each level of working circle will need a focal link person/organization as outlined above. This
person/organization will be elected by the working circle. It is desirable for this role to rotate at a
frequency agreed by the circle.
12
The International People’s Health Movement Circle will need to decide on the most appropriate
ways of relating to and linking with both the Working Circles- to enable the development and
strengthening of the PHM and the Working Circles for policy and lobbying work.
Specific attention will be given to the ways that the circles work and interact and outlining the
principles they can work with in more detail. It may be appropriate to develop briefings on
possible ways to establish and work in circles.
Developing PHM positions and responses
Position papers and documents supported by the PHM should be backed by a process of
collective endorsement. Though individuals and organisations are encouraged to lake public
positions under their own names, a PHM position should evolve more collectively. Specific
process for this will be developed by the Representation Working Circle.
Accountability and Responsibility
As slated above, a key concept in the working circles and the geographical circles is
accountability back to a constituency. This may also be important for members of National
People’s Health Movement Circles as they may be there from and on behalf of certain
constituencies.
The joining of these interlinked circles will create a
People’s Web.
This is the end of the new structure
The timetable and process for the taking forward the new structure
From December 2001 the agreed new structure will be taken forward.
It is proposed that initiators will be approached by the Secretarial to bring people together to
establish circles. This is a very temporary role. Once initialed the members of the Circle will
elect their co-ordinator and their link person to other appropriate circles. The Circle co-ordinator
and link person might be the same person in some cases and different people in others. It will be
up to the circle to decide what is appropriate. Circles may include a number of link people io a
variety of circles.
The established circles will liaise with the Secretariat through the Link person.
The National People's Health Movement Circles. The members of the National PHM Circle will
elect their co-ordinator and their link person to Regional PHM Circles and other appropriate
circles. The Circle co-ordinator and link person might be the same person in some cases and
different people in others. It will be up to the circle to decide what is appropriate.
The Regional People's Health Movement Circles. The members of the Regional PHM Circle will
elect their co-ordinator and their link person to International PHM Circle and other appropriate
circles. The Circle co-ordinator and link person might be the same person in some cases and
different people in others. It will be up to the circle to decide what is appropriate
The International PHM Circle will adopt statutes to operate under when it is initiated.
Timetable
The process of establishing National PHM Circles is of course different in each country. Some
already have strong national committees, others are in the process of forming them and some
have limited contact with the PHM. It is proposed that National groups initiate National PHM
Circles between December 2001 and the end of March 2002.
The National PHM Circles that are initiated by then The Secretariat will work with National
groups to initiate Regional PHM Circles between April 2002 and the end of August 2002.
Some Regional PHM Circles will be able to be initiated before this period.
It is planned for the first International PHM Circle meeting to take place by the end of October
2002 at the latest.
Clearly new National and Regional will continue to be established and they will be able to link
with established Circles as they are able.
14
Interim arrangements
The international PHM Circle will lake over the responsibility as a reference body for the
Secretariat from its initial meeting.
The Secretariat will require a reference body in the interim period. The aim is to be consistent
with the proposed changes and for them to not contradict what will be developed over the next
year.
As a result it is proposed to establish a Secretariat Support Circle. This will be composed of
the elected link people in the Working Circles initiated to enable the development and
strengthening of the PHM.
Initially these have been proposed to be a minimum of 9 Working Circles
• People-centered communication
• Publications
• Communication for advocacy
• Charter - popularizing, translating and promoting
• Representation - Developing PHM positions and agreeing meeting attendance etc.
• Resources, Funding and Budget
• Developing and updating the website
• Network liaison development
o Relationship with and lobbying the WHO
In electing the link people for these Working Circles people should be aware of die additional
responsibility.
Other Working Circles will be expected to share their plans for work and activities with the
Secretarial during this period.
As a result the Secretariat Support Circle will continue as an interim reference body.

NEW STRUCTURE OF PHA FORMED AT INTERNATIONAL
MEETING IN SAVAR, DHAKA
A PHA International Meeting was held from 27 to 30 October 2001, at Gonoshasthya
Kendra in Savar, Dhaka. Ms Pam Zinkin, Maria Zuniga, Andy Rutherford, Andrew Chetley,
Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury, Amitava Guha of the PHA International Group, and Dr Qasem
Chowdhury and M Farhad Hossain from PHA Secretariat were present at the meeting.
The meeting agreed plan to enable the development and strengthening of the People's
Health Movement (PHM). The participants present at the follow-up meeting believe that it
will provide the foundation for the People's Health Movement. By 2005 the People's Charter
for Health should be ‘on the table’ and it and related documents, which share positive
people-centered practice should be seen as credible alternatives. The movement is
recognized as the People’s Health Movement as opposed to the People’s Health Assem
bly The People’s Charter for Health should be a guiding document both for the People's
Health Movement, for a growing number of national governments (not just Ministries of
Health) and parts of the UN institutions, i.e., the WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, etc.
&&' &
The meeting has proposed new structures of the PHA for a People's Health Movement
The new structures will be built upon some principles to carry forward the movement. The
first principle is to develop a feeling of belonging to a movement for change Secondly,
people and organisations will be enabled with different and diverse backgrounds to be part
of the PHM, where a pro-people orientation remains fundamental. This will sometimes
require positive action, i.e., for people with disabilities.
U)
tn
The new structures will be transparent, democratic and open, and representative of South/
North, genders, ethnicity/race, Emailing and without access to email, different languages
as possible, and ages/generations - especially young and older people Diversity will be
celebrated. Women’s access to health needs to be challenged and changed. The PHM
places importance on membership organizations, networks and movements with demo
cratic decision making processes - this is key.
The Circles are the foundation of the new PHM structures. Circles are created and made
up of people who are representatives and activists from organizations and are people
committed to working on the issue or activity that is the focus of the circle. Circles will
intersect and when formed will elect a link person(s) to link to other appropriate circles.
Circles are envisaged at different geographical levels and for different areas of work Working Circles. Geographical Circles are envisaged at a minimum of three levels.
National People's Health Movement Circles, Regional People's Health Movement Circles,
and International People's Health Movement Circles. Different areas of work can generate
different Working Circles. These are also envisaged to exist at the three geographical
levels when appropriate. Some may first be established at the international level. As
activity and interest is developed then connected regional and or national circles might be
developed. Linking of Circles have been also envisaged. One of the most important
parts of the structure is the way in which circles link together. Elected members of each
circle will be the link person to other appropriate circles. This could be between two
different working circles or between a working and geographical circle. The linking has
many roles and responsibilities. The links can also enable us to join and co-operate with
other movements and networks.
Coordinating Group of the PH A: Asian Community Health Action Network (AC HAN;,
Consumers International (Cl); Dag Hammarskjold Foundation (DHF); Gonoshasthaya Kendra (GK);
Health Action International (HAI); International People's Health Council (IPHC);
Third World Network (TWN); Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR)
Ek- ", ■:--------
The world has been divided into several Geographical Re
gions. The initial regions are based on areas where the
People's Health Movement has some strength with two
exceptions. These are West Africa and China, where we plan
to have some strength in due course. The initial regions
proposed are: India; South Asia, not including India; SouthEast and East Asia, not including China; China; Pacific,
Australia and New Zealand; Middle East and North Africa;
West Africa; East and Central Africa; Southern Africa;
Europe, South America; Central America including Mexico
and the Caribbean; and North America.
Perfect regionalization of the world will be completed through
discussion, consultation and evolution. A regionalization will
be evolved, which reflects, what each region feels is a viable
and a positive contribution to the People’s Health Movement.
National Circles would need to decide on what is the most
suitable and appropriate for them.
National circles would elect link person(s) with a Regional
People's Health Movement Circle. One elected representative
from each of these Regional People’s Health Movement
Circles will be a representative for the International People’s
Health Movement Circle.
with and lobbying the WHO
Working circles could also be developed for specific areas
of policy and lobbying work. Some of these might be of a
short duration and related to an activity others may be
ongoing. This is an open-ended list. If there is the com
mitment and energy to establish and contribute, these
might initially include- Health and Militarization, Trafficking
of Women; Violence against Women, Privatization;
PRSPs and Health; GATS and Health; Women’s access
to health; Rational drugs, Macro-economics and Health;
Good examples of people-centered approaches to Primary
Health Care; Medical Education and Health/Health Human
Power Education; and Indigenous People and Health
rights. Many Working Circles might be first established at
the International level. In some regions for some working
circles, regional circles may be appropriate and desirable.
For some working circles, national circles may be appro
priate and desirable. Each level of working circle will need
a focal link person/orgamzation as outlined above. The
working circle will elect this person/organization. It i
The International People’s Health Movement Circle will be the
reference body for the Secretariat. It is also proposed that the
coordinator or facilitator of the Secretariat for the International
People’s Health Movement will be representative on the
International People's Health Movement Circle. This will mean
that initially the International People’s Health Movement
Circle has a minimum of fourteen members. It will be the
right of the International People’s Health Movement Circle to
increase this if appropriate. Statutes and ways of working
would be agreed for the International People's Health Move
ment Circle. It may be desirable for the International People’s
Health Circle to elect a smaller group who would be a refer
ence group for the secretariat on certain agreed issues.
Working Circles will be formed to enable the development and
strengthening of the PHM. Working Circles could be devel
oped for activities that are key to the development and
strengthening of the People's Health Movement itself. These
will begin as International Working Circles. Initially these are
proposed to be a minimum of people-centered communica
tion; publications; communication for advocacy; Charterpopularizing, translating and promoting; representationdeveloping PHM positions and agreeing meeting attendance
etc., resources, funding and budget, developing and updating
the website; network liaison development; and relationship

THE PEOPLE’S CHARTER FOR HEALTH AND
AFTER 11 SEPTEMBER 2001
In December 2000, more than 1,400 people from 93
countries met in Bangladesh at the world’s first
People's Health Assembly (PHA). They developed
a People’s Charter for Health, which describes the
vision of ‘a world that respects, appreciates and
celebrates all life and diversity’. Today, such a
vision is needed more than ever.
The Charter points out that:
‘War, violence, conflict and natural disasters
devastate communities and destroy human dignity.
They have a severe impact on the physical and
mental health of their members, especially women
and children.’
The Charter also notes that:
‘Strong people’s organisations and movements are
fundamental to more democratic, transparent and
accountable decision-making processes’.
Within its call for action, the Charter calls on
people of the world to* Condemn and seek the reversal of any policies,
which result in the forced displacement of people
from their lands, homes or jobs.
’ Oppose fundamentalist forces that threaten the
rights and liberties of individuals, particularly the
lives of women, children and minorities.
* Support campaigns and movements for peace
and disarmament.
* Support people's initiatives to achieve a just and
lasting peace, especially in countries with experi
ences of civil war and genocide.
* Demand that the United Nations and individual
states end all kinds of sanctions used as an
instrument of aggression, which can damage
The Charter also calls for the radical transformation
of the UN Security Council so that it functions
democratically. In today's crisis, a democratic,
representative Security Council could provide the
international leadership required to steer a safe
path through the present global tension.
The People’s Health Assembly Movement is inter
ested in your views of how we can work together
towards a just and lasting settlement of the global
terror that threatens to undo development activities
and undermine efforts to improve health around the
world.

PHA PRESENTATION AT GLOBAL FORUM FOR
HEALTH RESEARCH
Luis Currat, Executive Secretary, Global Forum for
Health Research had earlier informed Ravi Narayan, a

been invited to speak at the closing plenary session.
Four panellists included were Chris Murray: Secretary

Dear Qasembhai,
Greetings for the New Year from CHC to you. Zafarullah and the GK team.
Apologies for the few weeks of silence but I just got back to work after
another bout of spondylosis
( MRJ shows osteophytes and disc pressure on —) with restrictions on
travel for a while and the pending communication just piled up.
1.
I received the letter you got from Eva Wallslam (Fax 31/12 and
email 8 Jan). Please write to her that I have been asked to convene or
coordinate the WHOAVHACSI working circle so that on these issues she
can mark a copy to me everytime she writes to you.
1/21/02 10:39 AM
2. I shall send you and the others a copy of our potential reply in
the formal provided by her for approval before sending the response to
Margaret Skoldby Sth Feb.
3. You could circulate Eva's letter to the others in the circle
Mentioning that I will circulate the PHM response before forwarding it
to CSI
•
4. A note to be sent to WHO/WHA circle is enclosed for your approval
and additions if any. This is an update as of January 15th 2002.
5. I acknowledge the 7th News Brief (8th Jan) and attach some
additional news. Please could you resend your brief 6th and 8th - since
we need to keep track of all that is included from the Indian side and
somehow we cant trace ihem(!)
6. Asa point of clarification once again I presume the WHO/WHA
circle will not only respond to WHO-CST documents etc. but also
coordinate the WHA events in May 2002 or will these be two separate
circle working together. The note 1 am sending around presumes the
former.
M Eric Ram had sent a response on 15th December confirming that in
jgnuary he would follow up with the idea of using the NGO Forum for
Wdth session at WHA 2002 also to promote the charier. I am marking it
to you along with my reply separately.
8. Regarding the shift of secretarial 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.
9. A Dr. Abha Sharma-from WHO has written io us ambiguously as CHC?
or PHA? regarding becoming pan of an International organizing
conference for Health Research in Mexico. I am marking this letter and
our reply to you. You can await response from her directly.
10. Finally a separate note on the community orientation programs of
CMC-r and SJMC for GK Medical College faculty team. Apologies for the

Dear Friends
Reg : PHA Secretariat shift
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
This communication is with regard to a proposal to shift the PHA
secretariat to a new region, which evidently came up for informal
discussion, at the PHA International meeting held at GK Savar in October
2001, which I was unable to attend due to a recurrent spondylosis.
Following the meeting, though this matter was not minuted, we have been
approached by various people to explore the possibility of CHC taking up
the responsibility, since we had shown that sort of potential with our
involvement in post PHA activities at local state, national, regional
and international levels. CHC was also seen as a group in the Indian
region, which was a separate region in the new geographical formations
of the PHM. So in principle, the Secretariat would move from South
Asian region to Indian region. Also we were informed that other regions
were not yet ready to take over this responsibility and hence this
request.
It was felt that this should be discussed at the meeting of the Indian
Jana Swasthya Abhiyan, since we were part of a regional network.
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. After the formal meeting, the issue was
discussed with various individuals to get a general consensus. As of
now on behalf of CHC, I would like to clarify the position as follows :
1. We feel that the PHA Secretariat is doing very well presently under
Qasem's coordinatorship and since as per the evolving plans, the
International People's Health Movement Circle with 14-15 members should
be meeting in October 2002, perhaps the shift of the Secretariat should
be considered at that time.
This would have given the South Asia
region (GK-Savar) - a 2 year spell of supporting the Secretariat October 2002-October 2002 and maintain a process of continuity till the
new structures are finalised.
2. CHC is willing to take over the responsibility of the Secretariat
from October 2002 if the IPHMC approves it. We do not see any
difficulty in getting the endorsement of the Indian region since
everyone here appreciates our contribution and both at the September
2001 and December 2001 meetings, we have already been circulating
summaries of all that is going on at the International I other region
levels and relevant documents for information and responses if any. The
matter however will be discussed at the next earliest opportunity.
3. At the CHC level, the Executive Committee of our Society in January
2002 has endorsed this potential responsibility and we are including it
in our Plan of Action for the next phase of our work, as a possibility.
They have also agreed to let me give a substantial part of my time in
the next two years if this new responsibility and shift takes place.
4. We understand that there is a suggestion to host a PHA once in 4
years. So this would mean a PHA in December 2004.
If we took up the
1 of 3
2/14/02 11:43 AM
tha secretariat
Secretariat responsibility, it would then be from October 2002 to
September 2004 and the Secretariat would then be ready to move into the
region which would host the next PHA (this would then follow the same
pattern as the Secretariat moving from Penang to Savar in September /
October 2000 - 3 months before the PHA-2000). We would be glad to work
more closely with the region that will take over in 2004 - so that the
transition would be smooth.
5. Already in our evolving plans for the phase 2002-2005, we in CHC had
already begun the process to launch an initiative called the 'Peoples
Health Watch' (PHW) somewhere between April-May 2002.
Over the last 18
years since CHC's inception in 1984, we have established a very wide web
of interactions with a wide range of networks, issue based groups,
health and development NGOs, academic/universities and international
health agencies all of which have greatly supported our ability to
participate and enhance the PHA mobilization at all levels - local,
state, national, regional, international levels as well as host earlier
network meetings such as the South Asian Dialogue on Poverty and Health;
the Indian region consultation on Global Health Watch and other such
initiative.
The 'People's Health Watch' (PHW) initiative of CHC will be an effort to
streamline this web of linkages and contact points and start a regular
interactive distribution of material strong on 'people's perspectives',
and 'people's initiative'. A more detailed concept paper of the
initiative will be circulated to all those who are already part of our
'web of linkages' seeking their support, contribution and participative
in the venture. The special focus of the PHW will be on people's
voices, people's case studies of action initiatives and campaigns - a
theme stressed in PHA but perhaps not adequately focussed upon and
strengthened thereafter.
In addition, PHW of CHC will become a strong
Southern voice contributing proactively to web sites such as the IPHN
web site hosted by Roger Drew, Health Link and PHM web site hosted by
Andrew Chetley and other web sites to balance the present contributions
that are more 'issue' debates rather than 'action reports'.
6. In the next few months, we are busy with preparations organising /
facilitating the WHO/WHA circle for PHM including the WHA technical
briefing session on PH charter and the PHM dialogue with WHO-CSI
initiatives. A separate note on this is being sent around.
7. If the PHW initiatives takes of as visualised then we will be in a
stronger organisational position to take on additional responsibility the PHM Secretariat - whenever this is endorsed by IPHMC later this
year. Till then, as we have already been doing in the phase since
December 2000 we shall continue to be supportive of the PHM Secretariat
at Savar and actively involved in the evolving needs and initiatives and
also respond to other requests from all over the world, that are coming
to us directly as well.
8. We presume that IPHMC will also have to clarify the sort of modest
support the PHA Secretariat can expect whenever an organisation takes up
the responsibility.
We have also approached some potential sponsors,
who have shown interest if such a need arises but we can discuss this
further when the shift takes place.
9. This communication is basically an initial clarification of
commitment if the shift is considered necessary. However, CHC would
also be quite happy if any other group or region volunteered and our
support to them would be assured.
Looking forward to the continuing collaboration with all of you in
strengthening the PHM,
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Qasembhai / Zafarullahbhai,
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
I enclose two letters received from Ms. Eva Wallstam and my tentative
reply.
I am circulating separately update of the WHO/WHA event to all
concerned and will reply again to Ms. Eva Wallstam by 4th March - when
she returns to headquarters.
Hopefully all of you would have responded to the update.
I delayed this
update because I wanted to work around definitive dates to help our PHA
members make their travel and other commitments and the group planning
the WHA meeting actually finalised the date only last week. We now have
to work around the date 17th May.
See the update for further details.
Best wishes,

Dear Ravi,
Received your all email. In fact PHM does not have any budget for
WHA. As you know Secretariat was supposed to be here till 31st
March 2002. Accordingly wo made the budget with further effort to
raise fund for the future activity. Olle was supposed to approach
Rockefeller Foundation and Dutch Ministry. I do not know the outcome
or his meeting yet.
We have to try hard for WHO to sponsor PHM delegates. Also we have
to encourage our those friends who will be able to manage their own cost
particularly the northern friends.
In the mean time I will follow it up ’with Andy. We may have sortie savings oy
31st March 2002. Will it be possible for you to make minimum tentative budget
tor the WHA in May. This will provide us an idea to mobilize fund.

Tuank you very much for your number of mails. While we together m Geneva last year, you
may recall that we have a discussion with Eridani (Spelling ?) in this matter. I still think it’s a
very good idea In addition to who one dav work teaching session for Swiss School students
on ?! 1A. If you still agree with the course. We must know first needs have your response.
it looks like that WHO will allow BHA to sneak in one of them technical session In addition
to technical session if we could set sometime at the plenary' it will be very good. It would be
helpful to com 'ey ministers. Usually technical session is done by the DG. not by the minister.

Dear Ravi,
thanks for the letters.
Please be advised that I do not have
any of the material from the May 16th mooting at WCC.
I understand that it
was given to you and Thelma.
Please advise.
Your friend from India and
your son were removing the exercises from the wall and they told me you
would have everything.
I hope that is so.
I do not have all the agreements made at the follow up meeting on the 17th.
I will write again shortly.
I hope you are all okay.
The news is terribly alarming.
Cheers, Maria

Dear David and Ravi,
I also found the report by Nance upselling and I said so Lo Claudio.
I did
not go into detail, but felt that it was not well done, and that our
official report should be posted, but not someones report that was not even
at PHA.
I also suggested her put the presentations made by Ellen, jMwajume, and
myself up on the PHA Exchange. I now have received the presentations and
intend to send them on to Claudio.
Is that alright with you?
David, Nance is the disabled woman m the wheelchair, who is very strong on
AIDS.
I would like to point out that David Sanders was suggested to be the
facilitator for the research analysis group and that this is supported by
kPHC since that is exactly what IPHC wants to do as part of the PHM.
I had
told Qasem that IPHC would assume chat role and so it is not new, but David
just verified our IPHC decision made in February.
Actually I offered to facilitate communications with the Social Forum in
Puerto Alegre, particularly for 2003, not David.
IPHC already has the
Social Forum in the plans for this period.
As I explained in the PHM meeting, the Women's Global Network is
parti ci pari ng in the World Wide Coordination and attended the meeting in
Barcelona. They intend to continue, and as they arc part of the PHM and
have a circle already, I think we should ask them Lo continue lo serve in
this way for the PHM.
In any case I personally would be coordinating with Sumati on this.
want to follow up as well?
Do you
There are continental meetings of the Social Forum as you are aware.
IPHC
will be covering the American Social Forum in Quito, Ecuador October 27Nov. 1.
Ravi, I think that you, Zafrullah and Qasem MUST deal with Nance on this.
also think we must get our report out. As I wrote to you the other day I
have NO material at all.
I am willing to review the notes and send it
around to the facilitators, but you could do that just as well from there,
given that Thelma was in the group and also took notes.
It is urgent to get this out and clarify all this set forth by Nance.
Thanks,
I

Subject: h'wd: PHA-Exchange> PHM meeting in Geneva
Dear Ravi,
Thank you tor your letter received on 3 June as a follow up to the WHA.
I also thought that it was a very successful intervention and you must be
I need to raise a couple of issues with you personally and am therefore not
copying this to Qasem or Zafrullah or on the PHA Exchange.
1 ,i An email was sent out on PHA—exchange on 21/5/2002 by Nance. It was a
report of the PHM meeting in Geneva. ITm afraid I cannot put a face to the
name Nance but I am upset about some of this report and believe that it
casts me (intentionally or unintentionally) in an unfavourable light.
Specifically in the last section of this report it says inter alia:
Re Porto Alegre 2003 "David Sanders volunteered to be the contact person"
Re GFHP. "David Sanders had put himself as the contact man organising the
participation in the GFHR"
ke the proposed celebration of Alma Ata 25th Anniversary "David Sanders said
ne had a report analysing the evolution since Alma Ata and therefore
suggested he be the contact person to organise that too".
>From the above a strong impression is created that I pushed myself forward
for almost every possible posi ri on/rol e for PHM. This is not. my recol 1 ect i on
of what happened. I recall that I was proposed (I think by you or Qasem) to
ad as convenor of Lhe research/analysis group and not necessarily be the
ongoing coordinator. Similarly, I did not put myself forward as the contact
person to organise the 25th Anniversary of Alma Ata. I cannot remember who
took on this task. I merely offered to assist with this in light of my
involvement in drafting the background paper for the 20th Anniversary held
in Kazhakstan.
I initially drafted an email to Nance but have not sent it since I believe
the impression created should be refuted by someone else, not myself. It is
unfortunate that this has already gone out on a listserve, given that it is
not an accurate reflection of some of the proceedings. I would appreciate
your assistance and advice in this matter.
B)
Re the GFHR, I have not heard from Louis Currat although I see that you
have. What would you like me to do about this at this stage? Should I still
send out a call for chose interested in presenting research at Arusha to
contact me? Or does -PHM already have sufficient presence there in the form
of Zafrullah and Thelma?
Yours sincerely,
David Sanders

Dear Qasem, et al
WSF:
i am waiting for word from David Sanders, but I will proceed on this
from here in any case because Ani from Brazil has met with one o.f the major
organizers. David please advise!
We do not need a formal invitation, we express our willingness to work
together and our proposals.
The May 16th notes:
I understand that all these notes and papers, Andrew's
notes, etc. are at the CHC. The material was collected by Ravi's son and
the gentleman from India who is working at WHO. And the results of the
vision papers have already been sent out. I just want it to be clear that I
cannot do that final report because I have nothing to do it with.
Everything is at CHC.
Qasem, I cannot go to any meeting during October as I have a meeting in
Ecuador and then in Canada.
1 am available in November however, preferaably after the 12th of November.
I certainly hope to be present.
Please keep that in mind.
Thank you for the News Brief.
It is quite nice.
Attached is the translation of Julio Monsalvo's experience at the WSF 2002.
Maybe you want it for future publications, or for the web page.

Yes, I received the all the emails you mentioned. I was busy in
trying to develop a draft proposal for PHM fund raising. Rockefeller
Foundation may provide a small grant for this year. I sent the draft
PP to Andy who will finalise it and will submit to the Rockefeller.
Andy is arranging ro send the reimbursement to Unni and Satya
as payment have to be made from London. Our bank said my
reimbursement from NGO Forum has arrived in the bank.
Do you think there is a need for me to join PHM-NCC meeting at
Bhopal on 15th July? If my presence will help any way, I will be
xilad to come. Please let me know. I will try to bring either with me
Br send the 50 copies of testimonies to you.

hopefully the
PHM Geneva report will be posted on the exchange soon.

In India, you may have heard that there are
plans
to hold a Asian Social Forum in Hyderabad in January 2003. Health will
be on
the agenda. We are discussing this at our PHM National Coordination
Committee
meeting in Bhopal on 15th July. I forward separately some initial draft
plans
for the ASF and the Indian involvement in WSF 2003. Also the
preparation for
the potential hosting of WSF 2004. Comments and suggestions are most

A. young Indian volunteer from USA who
^Blending three months in India and will be in touch with us and is
fluent in
Spanish has agreed to translate PHM campaign material from India into
Spanish

This has

The report is well done and represents clearly what we were doing aL the
WHA. I think it is necessary to define the initials the first time you use
them because not everyone understands all the initials. Example CSI - Civil
Society Initiative. You use these initials quite a bit.
So it would help
the reader. You also use very long sentences. Maybe you could cut them
down, or find a way to separate with bullet points when there are many
points.
Please put page numbers on all your documents.
I was waiting for you to clear me to send the presentations at the technical
session to Claudio.
I will proceed to do so.
I am also sending everything
I have to you.
^Kinderstand that the facilitation group will do the report on the May 16th.
However, I do not have any material as I wrote to you earlier. The Indian
fellow awho works at WHO and your son picked everything up. Please advise!
I understand that Qasem will deal with the organizational matters,
and so on. Will he send that around as well?
circles
Pam will be sending you the list of participants that my daughter put on the

Thank you for this excellent work!
I will be at the Latin American Primary Health Care seminar in Cuba next

I

Dear David and Ravi and Qasem.
This letter is to respond to several letters I have received from Ravi, including June 17, 19,21.
I warn jo respond io several items.
WSF 2003
I understand that PHM expects David Sanders and I to work on the PHM presence at the WSF in Puerto Alegre
in 2003. IPHC is already committed to having a presence there, so it will be fine for both David and I to be
involved in this lor die PHM. Actually, as I said, I koffered io do this at the followup meeting after the
Technical session, but it seemed to go unrecorded.
1 believe 1 told you that 1 had written to Armando from Brazil but 1 have had no news from him since before he
went to the Equity in Health meeting in Canada where I assume he spoke with David Sanders. But I have not
heard from David either.
^However. I have heard from Am Whibey in Brazil who has met with Fatima Vianna Mello who is one of the
^R?rincipal coordinators for the 3rd Social Forum in 2003. Here is a portion of Ani's letter.
Now, about Fatima. She is highly active in FASE(an organization that works with the organized poor) and on
the national level, know for her commitment in the struggle for justice on all levels and her expertise in
organizing gatherings, etc.
Wc had some precious moments together in which she explained the process of the Social Forum movement.
She mentioned that the personnel in Porto Alegre were responsible for the logistics and the coordination team
responsible for the thematic and the selection of who would make presentations al the assembly level. She
mentioned that there will be innumerable workshops, etc. She sounded like a repiiion of PHA, but the count
was into fne lens of thousands. I told her about you and your coordination of PHM, etc. She recommended that
you write to her asking for as many workshops, etc that you think PHM will need. I know you are in contact
with others and all will go well. However this was face to face and a she was very receptive to our movement.
She seemed glad to receive a copy of the Charier.
Her E-mail: fmelio@fase.ors.br
intend to follow up on this, bin will wail for you and or David to respond to this letter and to fill me in on
further discussions that might have taken place.
I wish to remind you once again that Sumati Nair from the Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights
IS on the organizing committee for the next WSF. I think that it is imperative that PHM works with and through
her on ibis commirtee, Could Qasem and Ravi request his formally?
25th Anniversary of Alma Ata: I propose that this be dealt with in EVERY meeting where we are present in
2003, not just in India or in Geneva.
TRANSLATIONS:
About the Indian volunteer from the US. Before you begin to translate materials 1 must suggest the following.
Professional translators translate from English to Spanish only if they arc native speakers in Spanish, and vice
versa for Spanish to English. In other words, the translator translates into their own native tongue. 1 also think
that the Indian material should be ADAPTED not directly translated, and that Latin American examples be
7/3'02 ll:09.V4
lo2-
fik:///Untitled
used. This is possible.
My other suggestion: We need to do an inventor/ of what has already been translated from English to Spanish,
or vice versa. And we must work on this with Dr. Arturo Quizhpe at the University of Cuenca. He is the IPHC
rep in South America They have already translated many documents from the PHA.
Ani works in Portuguese, not Spanish. She can help with identifying needs there, or doing an inventory on
materials. You see many people work on these issues in different languages and we should not duplicate our
efforts, but coordinate them.
UNNI: I have not had any contact with him since Geneva. I am sending him a note. I had hoped he would send
me ideas on how io work with him on the political issues that are the particular expertise of the IPHC.
1 am concerned that we have not made the report on the meeting of the 16th of May at the WCC. As 1 told you
earlier I do NOT have any of the materials. What is happening with this? Please ask Thelma to advise me.
’Ravi, I hope all is going well in your plans for India. Please do keep us informed.
Qasem, are we to have a meeting in October or later this year before the transfer of the secretariat?
When will the World Bank Day publication be available?

Dear Qasem Bhai
Nice co hear from, chough i did not send a mail. But i have been wanting to
I wanted to discuss something that i thought the PHM may be interested in.
As you know the Asian Social Forum, that is the Asian Regional Forum of the
World Social Forum. is being held in India (in Hyderabad) between 2.~7
January, 2003. I think ic would be a good idea if the PHM could chink of
organising a big event at the asian Social Forum, especially as 2003 is also
the 25th anniversary of the Alma Ata Declaration.
If you think it is an idea that can be explored we can take the discussion
’forward. As you might know as per the way the WSF is organised any
organisation can, if interested, plan its own programme as part of the
Forum. If the PHM so decides, it can decide to orgainse a ma"jor event around
the rheme of Health and Globalisation in the backdrop of 25 years after Alma
Ata. The PHM could have full freedom to plan the programme, etc. and also
decide on other logistics like funding. We expect about 5-6,000 people Lo
attend the asian Social Forum, with about 1,000 from outside India. Though
it is an Asian event there is scope for inviting people from other parts of
rhe globe too.
Let me know about your initial reactions and we could take the discussion
Do pay my recrards co Zafar bhai.
Best,
Amit

Greetings from Community Health Cell
1.This is to inform you that after much proddings from many in Geneva
and WCSFz I have finally agreed co attend two days of the WCSF m
Geneva. Mike had agreed and Pam had indicated that they would be happy
to have someone from the south. Sunil we hoped would attend but he
informed recently that he could not go. After your circular letter no
one responded. When programme was drawn up. It seemed too strong on
northern parts.epatton, and there was an appeal that southern
participation should be much strong . After some unavoidable dialectics
and panic calls I have now agreed to go.
. There will be two sessions in which we will make inputs. On 16th Jul
chare is a session on Health aiid Develop!nent where I shall be a
panellist presenting the south Asian Dialogue on Poverty and Health
Statement as a sort of precursor to the people Health charter. 20 out of
the 48 participants at the South Asian IPHN meeting were later active in
PHA.
The other panellists are Eugenio representing WHO and Louis Curraj/t
representing GFHR. On 18th there is a presentation by Mike on People
Health Assembly and Charter . This way both of us representative of PHMs
will have slichtly more time to raise issues.
3. I am attending the PHM/JSA meeting in Bhopal on 15th and will catch a
late evening flight to Mumbai and catch the early morning connection to
Geneva. I arrive in Bhopal on 14th evening around 7 pm
4. Are you coming to Bhopal? If so when and how? If not will you send
the testimonials through some one. It we don't meet in Bhopal since it
will be rushed we could consider other options.
p. Since many of you have been keen that I organise a medical education
workshop on Community oriented strategies based on CHC’s studies on
Medical Colleges in India and I had promised the faculty of GKB that I
would do so some day. Perhaps we could consider a 3 day visit to GK - 2
days for the workshop and 1 day for PHM- in August. Presently I have
kept the month totally tree.
Looking forward to your reply and to the potential opportunity of
meeting you on 15th
Best Wishes

The fourth national meeting of the NWG of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan met in Bhopal on July

4. World Social Forum (WSF).
5. Action taken report on last meeting decisions.
6. Organisational Issues.
Report on PHA international level.
Dr. Ravi Narayan placed the report and Mira Shiva supplemented information
Following the PHA at Dhaka, die eight international organisers met in October 2001 at
Dhaka. Amitava Guha attended this meeting from India. The main decisions of this
meeting was to carry forward organisational work by constituting 14 regions in the World
and having one representative from each region contributing at the international decision
making level. It was also decided to form circles on specific themes. Over the months
some circles have emerged. The WHO-WHA lobby circle with Ravi Narayan as
Convenor: more recently a Poverty and Ads Circle with Dorothy Logie as Convenor:
other arc evolving. An .international c-group called PHA exchange was also initiated.
In October 2001, the peoples health charter was presented at the Global forum for health
research meet ai Geneva (forum 5) by Ravi who replaced Dr.Ekbal at the last minute.
In May 2002, at the World Health Assembly held a Geneva, the PHA group could make a
significant intervention. Through active lobbying WHO was encouraged to formally
support 2 PHM resource persons and the NGO forum also supported 2 persons. 31 other
activists from ail over me world who had played a lead role in the PHA also registered
through accredited NGOs to attend the WHO meet.
On 13th May these 35 participants attended a special brie ling 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:
ft
r-l(-C.)r4M6.^Le —
a) Not to confuse the private sector with not for profit NGOs under a common term
ci vi? society.
b) The need io look at the relevance of WHO's health concerns and themes , in the
context of the health problems of the majority.
c) The continued importance of the PHC approach, through which technical
strategies for problems iikf* a oping etc- could be channelised

by Nupur who highlighted PHM concerns and responses throughout the 5 day assembly.
A backgrounder and a number of press releases prepared for the occasion were also
distributed to the press.
As a result of a constant advocacy efforts throughout the 5 days the DG , WHO and her
senior colleagues found the time and interest to fully attend a technical briefing session
on the peoples health charter. The PHA groups lobbying also helped to ensure a large
attendance for this session. The secretary of health of Philippines, Dr. Manuel Dayrit,
chaired the session. Dr. Zaffrullah started the briefing bv sharing a dream-that was a
humorous but 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
charier using OHPs he showed the evidence of dismal perform an re even in priority areas
like immunizations. He listed out 15 key messages to WHO that emerged from the
charter. These 15 messages had been shortlisted 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 ar 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 bv JSS in India have
been used as course material in the Centre for International Health at Bergen, (Norway)
at Karolinska institute, (Sweden), ar the London school of Hygiene (UK). Ravi and
Thelma completed a series of workshops at the former two institutes before Vv7HA.
Eight background papers v/ere distributed. zA draft report on PHM in Geneva: a report,on
2 weeks of PHM Advocacy in Europe; the WHO-CSI initiative pamphlet and technical
briefing notice: me five press releases of PHM in Geneva: the response of PHM to WHOCSI consultation document: the note from Claudio on PHM charter; the note from
Claudio on PHM - time to take stock: and the PHM News brief no. 8.
Report for the States and the participating national networks:
Anin Scngupta introduced the topic, giving the background to how the World Social
forum had emerged as an important international platform of resistance to globalisation.
He stated that there was a proposal to hold the regional meet "Asia Social Porum" in
2003 January 3r io 7’1' at Hyderabad. And sought the participation of the Jan Swasthya
Abhiyan as a network in this programme. Vinod also emphasised the need for the widest
poss’mr pwriii’ipMhon and td amoral e-d on I he nature of lhe pin I form. All the participants
contributed to the ensuing discussion. There was unanimity on the decision that we
should participate actively and involve all the ISA 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 ano occupational
heahh and on issue of privatisation of waler. There were many other suggested issues as
wCii.
Then on behalf of the organisers a suggestion was placed that we plan for one seminarf
out of 25 planned at ASF) and 5 wcrkshops( out of 100 workshops planned).There arc six
non Toren cp.g planned and health would find a place within the conference on social sector
winch is bemg decided on by the main programme committee. It was further clarified that
the fixing of the numbers was done by the National committee and even the approval of
the workshops, seminars etc will 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 nor decide, it was decided to seek more derails from rhe national
committee and a subcommittee of 8 persons was set up to decide on further action on this
regard. Java Vclankar was proposed as convenor for this subcommittee and this activity
and this was agreed to bv the participants.
Gr it arat (TenOCide•
Saroiuu of ivlrC reported on the Gujarat communal riots and killings and on the pathetic
situation in the refugee camps even as of today. Site stressed that it was a continuing
tragedy. Moreover it was a public health issue not only as a result of the enormous
lessor life and health due to the violence, bur also as the public health system had clearly
cohansrd m
mon-ieni <>i
p.nd as there was c^earlv discriminatory access io
medical care at the time of communal strife and even afterwards. She detailed the action
that fvlFC had taken and the book documenting all this 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 ofor
action against medical professionals who had been part of the violence
In the ensuing discussion there was one round of discussion on whether the JSA as a
body had acted adequately. Most felt that even while recognising that all the individual
members and state groups had been active on this issue through other networks, this
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
parallel to them. There was also a general consnus that the public health dimensions of
rhid issue so well brought out in the MFC book needs io be highlighted and professional
bodies encouraged to develop an ethical position on these issues.
Ehe_report of the Oxfam facilitated Baii2alore_r_esppnse_for_peacejirjiaii\'e-reso.urce ieain
visit which included Babu Mathew (NLSUT); Thelma Narayan (CI-IC); and
Srinivasamunny. of. CNIMHANS) was also distributed.
Organisational Issues and Action to be taken:
1. Currently the JSA has only one convenor Dr Ekbal and one jt convenor, Dr
Sundararaman. It was proposed and unanimously accepted to expand me joint
com cnors to include Abhay Shukla, Ravi Narayan, and Amit Sengupta as well. In
addition, Sarojini and Vandana Prasad would provide liaison support at Delhi
level. - being also designated joint convenors for that limited purpose. Ibis
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 rhe
xvoik amongst themselves 101 tins purpose.
2. The international link group of the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan would be made up of
the following- L>. Ekbal, Ravi Narayan, Amit Sengupta, Mira Shiva, Mohan Rao.
1ms group would coordinate JSA responses and inter/entions at the international
level. The group coordinator would be Ravi Narayan. Whenever the move to shin
die Dhaka scciciaiiat iu India materialises tins group would also act as die
facilitatory group for this with the secretariat located at CHC Bangalore. While
the international secretariat will function under the evolving fPHMC, this India
Link group however will be concerned with those decisions and responses that are
made by or on behalf of the Jan Swaslhya Abhiyan and will support CHC in this
new role.
3. We also understand that Ravi Narayan is on behalf of CHC, playing a significant
role in furthering the PHA process at the international level, including being the
convenor of the WHO-wTfA lobby circle of PHM which organised the PHM
Geneva event, which we welcome, and support.
4. Ravi Narayan would also with the help of CHC and Dalaii Sampath take up the
task of running the website for JSA as well as conveying relevant information
from the PHA website, PHA Exchange network to this PHA- NCC e-group and
vice versa.They would also finalise the books on rhe PHA process and on
contribute to the “WB meets the people” booklet.
5. For organising the workshops and seminars /conferences at the Asia Social forum
meet the coordinating group is made up of Java Velankarf convenor), Mira Shiva,
Binayak Sea, Amit Sengupta, Ravi Narayan, Abhay Shukla, Vandana Prasad and
Sundararaman. This group now awaits to hear from the- ASF organising group
what the terms are for organising workshops seminars, conferences etc and
accordingly can decide on how many workshops it will organise.We would also
request all the state level organisations which are part of JSA to join into the WSF
effort.
6. As a response to Gujarat genocide and the ethical issues raised by the related
pcJ’kc health crisis state Jan Swasthya. Abhiyan committess are requested to take
note. Suggestions for 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 highlighting that action needs
be taken against doctors who were, involved in the killings and holding
sensitisations workshops/meetings on this issue amongst people working in tne
7. The JSA state coiuiiuitces would also continue work in the sex selective abortion
issue, the risht to food campaign and the drug policy issue. The campaign
support book on right to food is ready and available for a price of Rs 80(Rs 60 for
buik orders\ On the other two issues also books are planned.
,2
Tn p. nnrnnHr of sialrs there. are initiatives being taken by the state government on
health sector reform or health planning and the various constituents and state units
are having to respond to these as best as they can. More exchange of information
on this and help to state units which require it would be organised. CHC is deeply
involved with the Karnataka Government Task Force process and more lately die
Orissa State strategy paper. A draft Karnataka State health policy lias oeen
evolved which addresses most of the concerns of die peoples Health Charter. Tills
draft will be circulated to all PHA-NCCWG.
9. The. MFC meeting for this December is on the theme Communalism, conflict and
the role of die health professional and will be held in Dec 2nul —29U1 at Baroda.As
tins topic is of interest to many groups the invitation may be extended too them
and they should get in touch with Saroiini regarding their participation.

Geneva notes
I have a couple of versions of the Geneva notes -
• one that is simpiy the raw notes (I think) that have ail sorts of errors and need a lot of correction
• one that is a part-edited version (I started editing it as part of the evaluation process, but it still needs some
work (however, it is a little more correct although it leaves out some detail).
I’ve attached both. I also added the notes I took at the technical briefing - however, my laptop battery ran out shortly
after Brundtland spoke, so this is very incomplete.
Website
On the website, you should have already got a note I sent to Pam and copied to you earlier today explaining the work
that is currently going on around it. (The person who is doing this is based in Costa Rica, but will be moving to India
shortly.) What we’re doing at the moment is to try to get a fully functioning, easy to maintain, easy to use website in
place. Once that happens, then we see the next step being identifying who can maintain it (Secretariat needs to
manage this) and how to link things like the quarterly newsbrief to the website (using the newsbrief as the trigger for
new information on the news page on the site, and also e-mailing out to a wide number of people and encouraging
them to visit the site (if they have access). Once we have a working prototype for the new site, I’ll start the
Website/media/communications working circle and see what kind of ideas we can generate.
Contact pieces
I saw your other note about this, it’s looking good.

Subject Editorial
Dear Andrew’,
Greetings from Community Health Celli
Apologies for the long silence. Four important points of follow up.
1. Nikki Wright of IEHA has written about change in plans for the
conference. Sc Thelma and I are not visiting London in September. I
snail participate in a teleconference from AliMS - New Delhi which will
be beamed to the Barbican conference on 19th.
2. Uday Kumar, the young volunteer intern from WHO - Geneva who took the
floppy from
you (of the minutes of the meeting on 16th May at WCC Geneva, that you
keyed into
your laptop) has not sent the transcript of the minutes. Even after
repeated reminders we have had no response. He moved from Geneva back to
London. Perhaps the shift caused the delay! By any chance do you have it
still on your laptop? If so, can you mail it to me, Qasem and Maria
urgently? Alternatively contact him and nudge him to respond. Hope he is
in touch with you.
|3. Regarding the PHM website perhaps you could send me a note about how
you are
pianning to keep it going and if there anything we could do (Unni and I
from Bangalore) to support it more actively from September 2002.
4. Thanks for the contact editorial - first shot. I shall add to it as
soon as the whole issue is finalized.
i am busy editing aii the rest to fit into the 500 word iimit per
article Shall send you the manuscript and editorial soon.
Best Wishes.
Ravi Narayan.

P.S: You must have seen Roger’s reply to my letter of 16th August. Any

Sub: Today’s "reported" attack on Iraqi civilians by the US and UK fighter jets and the build up of war
Can PHM issue a statement ?
Dear friends
Greetings from Banaglore, India I
Hone you are watching the breaking news about the air attack on Iraq by joint I IS & UK. RRC reports, quoting
newspapers, stated that atleast one civilian area has been bombed.
It is time PHM issues a statement and let us put efforts to circulate it widely. The following is a draft statement
/ press relase. Attached please find a word document. The rlease is NOT just about today's reported
bombing on civilians, but about the build up.
We need to do three things:
1) Please decide (whoever is responsible) immediately about issuing a statement. Not many groups have
come forwarded at this stage. (I have seen general statements on the medact and IPPNW web sites, but not Gk Se
about this air raids.
2) If we decide to siisue this, please use the word document (Attachment) for editing. Please use track
changes options for editing
4
3) Please decide who all will sign this. It may be a good idea to issue it in the name of all regional
co-ordiantors on PHM letter head and signed by Dr. Qusem as the global co-ordinator.
Please think about this seriously and urgently. We ( Satya is in Thailand now and I am in Bangalore,
India) are willing to collate your response, produce the final document and take care of media circulation.

PHM LETTER HEAD +++++++
Press Release : Sep 6th 2002 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = ”um:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />
“STOP iHfcWAR”
PEOPLE’S HEALTH MOVEMENT caulions ihe US and UK Governments about the health and humanitarian
consequences of a war in the middle east. “It is not just the lives in Iraq, USA and UK at stake, but the entire
Tne People s Hearth Movement (PHM) expresses serious concern and anguish over the reported air strikes
.
nn civilian pockets in Iraq While opposing war or/and military intervention in Iraq, PHM is concerned about
!
the devastating impacts of a military action /war on Iraqi civilians, a community who has been going through
an unenaing saga or suffering ana misery as a fallout of the Gulf war and economic sanctions. Any further
suffering instigated on ordinary civilians, especially children and other vulnerable groups is inhumane. Such
an act will lead to irreversible damage to their life in general and health in particular as they have limited
access io food, nealtncare ana life supporting systems.
The People’s Health Movement is a global coalition of people and organisations from all walks of life like grass root groups, people-cased movements, NGOs, international development and humanitarian agencies,
media personals, specialist medical groups, academicians, etc. PHM believes that there are viable
alternatives to US / UK military interventions. Using military option and not exploring non-military measures to
address the potential threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq is highly deplorabie.
The PHM is also deeply concerned that any military action / war on Iraq could escalate into a wider regional
conflict with devastating humanitarian costs. The treat of nuclear, biological and chemical war as a fail out of
the air raids is visible and is of great concern It must be stopped immediately In the wake of UN inspectors
like Denis Halliday, Hans von Sponek and Scott Ritter expressing their belief that such capacity has been
already been neutralized in iraq, unilateral decision by both the US and UK governments without any public
debate and consultation is against the basic principles of democracy and governance
The escalation of military budgets have neutralized health and social sector spendings in developing
countries and continue to take a long trail of mortality and morbidity PHM is concerned about any country
diverting its resources for military build up and achieving Weapons of Mass Destruction capacity and Iraq is
not an exception. We appeal to tne governments of UK and USA io act with extreme care and without
prejudice It is not just the lives of citizen’s of Iraq, USA and UK at stake, but the entire world
me testimonies of communities who nave faced the onslaught of military aggressions is one of the guiding
factors for the formulation of The People's Heafth Charter, perhaps the largest consensus document
endorsed by people-centric organisations and individuals from over 100 countries. The charter explicitly calls
tor a hart to all wars ana conflict.
Draft for discussion.

Dear Qasem and prom,
Greetings from Community Health Cell I
This request has come our of the blue from Rober Bos - an old friend
with whom I have had a long contact since 1987 when I presented my
'sabbatical' paper on Health problems and effects of Agricultural
Development in a UNEP/FAO/WHO meeting in Rome. He knows about the PHM
and heard about our WHA- presence and has invited me to reflect on the
problem of cross cutting issues from the Charters point of view. As
usual because of time constraints, it may not be enough time to out the
loftar on
avphanrjo and g^t namfls because they want some names by 8th
of September. Perhaps some of the names of PHM contacts in Asia could be
sent so that there is a regional / country distribution.
At least a few names of those who could contribute should be sent now.
Then we could also put it on the exchange and ask others to apply for
invitation and support. As of now the programme only has Sri Lanka
(Felix Amera Singhe) and Pakistan (Shoaib Sultan Khan).
I am sure ACHAN has a good idea of potential participants for this
meeting. The Right to Water as a part of the Right to Health is an
important issue that PHM should raise at this conference. Do respond
soon so that we do not miss an opportunity.
BesL Wishes,
Ravi Narayan

"The date of the Hanoi Water Conference is rapidly approaching. We urgently
need to establish the list of invited participants. 1 would like to recall
Ludi. we have funds co invite about SO to 60 participants from around uhe
gione. bur. mainly from r.he Asia Region. These should be persons who have an
active interest in the dialogue, could contribute to the discussion and
initiate dialogues in their countries. Some of them should also acL as
reporters or discussants. It is important that we establish a good, balanced
list before we decide on the self—nominations. Please consult with your
regional offices ano send your nominations as soon as possible but not later

Dear Qasembhai and PHM friends.
Greetings from Community Health Cell. Bangalore?
I just received your invitation for the November meeting and will reach on 19th November as suggested and
look forward to the meeting. I also received a copy ofDr.EkbaFs letter to you following the unfortunate
communication hiccup between all of us and I hope the matter has been soiled out. CHC agrees to host the
secretarial after all the aspects of the shill or transfer are discussed at the November meeting oi the core
group and a consensus decision is taken. p
Wlcanvvhilc ouf- involvei‘netit-rU-PI^^Fconsensus anckthis note will keep you all informed about some of them
including further developments especially in the context of the WHO/WHA circle
1. Asian Social torum: - the Asian Social Forum will be held in-Hyderabad from 2-7th January as a runner
up regional event to the World Social Forum at Porte Alle-sre, Brazil in February 2003. A. very wide range of
national and other networks have come together arid a series of meetings are being held all over the country.
PFEvl - India (Jana Swasthya Abhiyan) is actively involved with Amil Sengupta and Java Velankar on the

intersectoral involvement of all those involved in struggles, campaigns and alternatives to existing global.
national, local develonment strategies.
We hope to have a PHM session where everyone who attends can share about the posl-PHA initiatives in
their state, countrv region or NGO or network. Tn addition a few parallel workshops on Health issues are
evolving. These may include Health as a Right; the Right to waler; environmental health especially
pesticides and toxic hot-pots- Women's access to health etc etc *As in the PHK4 mobilization — the meetins
will be preceded by pre ASF events including seminars and workshops; public hearings and people's courts;
fcdajaiha and campaigns and other such events
Those who arc already in touch with ASF please inform us. Those who are interested to join in. please
2. Alma Ata Anuivcrsarv Reflections:- Further io the letter that you had circulated on-*29lh Julv we also
hope to have the first reflection on 25 years of Alma Ata io evolve a discussion document that can be built
upon further as the other meetings in other regions and countries take place. Already this potential meeting
has been discussed in PI IM India informally and also with Prem John (AC I IAN) and Niranjan Udumalagala
from Sri Lanka and others. This meeting will draw upon all those who can make il to the ASF - perhaps as a
^•^rioris small srotm satellite meetinss like the South Asian Dialogue hosted bv us in November 1999. V7e
can bring together the first reflections and draw upon materials that are already available. I am working on
an idea draft of this meetings but this note needs an early response from all of von - (are some of you aa*
Gee io join ASF on f ?jse dates and are you interested in this meeting?)
3. 5
by
iSjukan PFIvT contact: ~ Nii'anjan Udumalagala ofPHrvf — Sri Lanka, a pharmacist who has
been involved with the essential drugs and other PHM initiative in Sri Lanka visited Bangalore and spent
come time with us sharinu al! that is happening in Sri Lanka, including a recent meeting before Johannesburg
summit organized by Bala and others. The malaria problem in Sri Lanka is acute and we shared the
miirieh'ncs we have wrinen for communiiv mobilization and parincrships for WHO-SEARO region and the
efibns we have made Ttimkur district to operationalise tnese guidelines. Niranjana had also suggested
9/3/G
:hcy would he interested to raise the issues of war, conflict and health in the light of the Sri Lankan
experience ai the ASF at llvderabad in January 2003.
4. Visit by Italian PHM-contact:- Dr. Sunil Deepak from AIFO - Italy who has been actively involved in
PHM4talv visited CHC todav to share his ideas and perspectives. He was here in. connection with, a training
pwgimnme on a new manual for working with people with disabilities. Some of his AIFO contacts in India
have shown interest in PHM involvement. He really inspired us with the whole process of the Italian
involvement m so many different levels from individual, local to national level.
5. PHM concerns in State Health Policy* - Thelma has been busy with the slate policy processes in both
Karnataka and Orissa state and we are glad io inform that many PHM charier concerns have found place in
both these evolving stale policies. These are contrary’ to the policy evolution at national level which has
been moving away from LITA goals and moving towards legitimizing privatization. These Will be circulateu
for wider comment as soon as they arc public documents. Mainstreaming with slate bureaucracies and
technocrats has not been easy but if PHM concerns don’t become mainstream then all that we do will
continue to be marginalized. Advocacy at National level by PHM is still not adequately developed but at
Karnataka it is soins well.
6. PHTvT in WSSD — Johannesburg anti AIDS meeting in Barcelona: - We have been reading bits and
^:eces from both these meetings but perhaps we should send a letter from lire secretariat requesting all those
who are PHM contacts but may have gone in other capacities, to write more details of what happened and
what issues and events took place in the context of the PH charter concerns. David and Mira were there at
WSSD. At Barcelona I don't how who??
PHM in GFHF- Forum 6 — (Arusha, Tanzania 1 l-16th November): - David and I have been in
constant touch with GFHR since Geneva and many of us have now been invited as researchers and policy
advocates to different sessions m different capacities. As of now David Sanders is presenting his research
findings in a session on Research in NGOs; Zafarullah is co-chairing a session - perhaps the same one;
Thelma *s in the TH session* Christiane mav be in the session on Access to Dings; and I have been asked to
speak at the plenary on priority selling in Research building on PH charter priorities. David has circulated a
note on the exchange and soon we will know who else mav be at the meeting.
8. Supporting PHM Africa:- In response io a request by Mwajuma and her PHM colleagues in Africa, 1 am
proposing a week extra availability in
Africa to support meetings, reflections, or gel togethers in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania. Tentatively the dates
susaesied are before Arusha (between 4-1 Oth November). A separate letter on this follows.
9- The Contact Special Issues on Peoples Health Movement and beyond:- This is nearly over, [ have
been workms on the technical editing of all the httle pieces and reflections over the last two weeks. It will
be forwarded io the CMAI office in the next few days and manuscript io all the contributors as well. All the

16. Reaching the Hnreached: - CHC efforts to reach the unreached policy makers, academies, researchers
is going well. Last ’week I spoke on PH Charter at CMC-Vellore and RUSIIA. Later this month I may make
a PHM input in AHMS. New Delhi and later at the National INCLEN (Indian Clinical Epidemiologists)
conference in 1 rivandrum where I am speaking on the PH charter - an alternative Research paradigm. In
October I may be defending Peoples Health in a WHO study group in Hanoi on cross cutting themes
between Water - A2riculmre. Ecology' and Health In December, Dr. Arole is inviting some of us from PHM
linkages to present issues in different sessions of an International conference on Health. Equity and
Empowerment. Finally on March 1st Berk-ley University, Hesperian Foundation and others have invited
Zafaruliah, Thelma and myself to the Annual Bay Aiea conference to present the CHC and PHM charter
concerns and also help to promote PHM-USA linkages with AID and other networks. Sarah, Darlena and a
'HM dcvc’r’prfxnts
Professor Ri

' 1. 1'inaliv nte most interesting news is that Or Brundtland has announced that she will not be seeking
re-eieciian. The leiier to WHO staff has been on the PHA exchange and the latest issue of Lancet (see
wen^ite ) has an ariicie b\ Ciare Kann (WHO Chief announces surprise move io stand down) I hear ibal our
c
ot w HQ pj the technical briefings also added to bier decision. As Convener of WHO-WHA circle, I
have had numerous emails with suggestions that PI IM should lobby with candidates., push PI IM charter
concerns. write to WHO EE to make the nominations and deliberations transparent etc etc. We hear that
Pascal Mocumbi - PM of Mozamjfbi^ue may be a candidate. 'Was he not on the guest list of PHA? We need
io watch the process and do our bn io get a pro-people’s health DG to push our concerns.

Dear Zafarullah bhai,
Greetings from Community Health Cell!
Thanks for your letter.
I am glad that the communication hiccup is over
and Dr.
^^Ekbals letter on behalf of JSA-India has clarified the decision.
Ilope you saw my last letter to Qasem and you all about PHM developments
and the
Alma Ata anniversary process initiated by WHO-WHA circle.
There are
many areas
of collaboration between CHC and GK and between both of us, that are
evolving:
a. Have you received the confirmation of GFHR - Forum 6 participation
from Louis
Currat? This year PHM presence will include you, David Sanders, Thelma
and
myself and perhaps a few others as well. Have you booked the hotel in
Arusha if
so which one?
b. I look forward lo the November meeting in Dhaka so that PHM movement
can be
taken forward.
I would be able to stay a day or two extra if you feel
that I
should facilitate a workshop for GKB faculty on community oriented
Medical
Education based on all our studies and training workshops for Rajiv
Gandhi
University. Possible dates could be 24 / 25th, since you all work on
Sundays.
It will also give me a little more time with you all to discuss other
ideas of
common interest.
c. The Asian Social forum meetings are evolving slowly. My role is to
enhance
Asian participation and I have written separately to many of you.
d. Dan Perlman visited us enroute to GK and invited both of us to attend
the Bay
Area Health conference in USA next year.
We were glad to hear that you
will
also be there. Darlena and Sarah and others wish to use this opportunity
to
promote PHM in that pari of the world.

Greetings from Community Health Ceil!
I am sending a communication sent by one of my colleagues to Andrew a
few weeks back. We missed sending it to you by oversight. Its
unfortunate that the old PHA website has been taken over by promoters of
pornography. It was a shock when we discovered it by accident recently.
If you have any old copies of Charter or any publication that mentions
the old website olease correct it before distributing the publication.
We found we had PII Charters with the old address and some with the new
one. We have made changes in those with the old address. It is an
unfortunate and embarrassing development but we hope with the relaunch
of the new website and new announcement this problem will become

Hi,
Unfortunately, the pna2000 domain is no longer registered to PHA. There were some difficulties in accessing it that occurred about
18 months ago. .As a result, we moved the site to phamovement - and let the pha2000 domain name go. Someone else with a
different purpose clearly bought it. The new site address was announced widely when we stalled it; however some people will not
have heard. The new site is currently undergoing a major revision and redesign. When that is completed - hopefully by early

Kajol and friends are also deeply upset that the secretariat and therefore
we, are ’moving’. We must have more heart and thought for our human

PHM Geneva / WHA
Dear Qasembhai,
Greetings from People’s Health Movement Secretariat at CHC, Bangalore!
Hope you have been getting copies of all my recent correspondence to PHM Steering committee
about PHM Geneva / WHA and other matters. Tomarrow I am sending a detailed note to the
funding group as well.
Khis is more specifically to you. (Perhaps a bit delayed already, but since we had discussed this
^'ore during you sit - it’s a follow up). I was a little worried i got no responses from you to any of
tne mail.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
i have been presuming that your participation at PHM Geneva is granted and as the
outgoing coordinator, your presence is crucial. So I hope you have booked 15ln - 22nd May
in your travel diary. The PHM funds will cover your costs.
i am expecting some confirmation from Andy and Olle about potential meetings with funding
partners in London on 13th May and Netherlands on 14th, enroute to Geneva. In case this is
confirmed, will you be able to join us? In which case it will be travel to London / Amsterdam
earlier.
Actually there is a PHM evaluation meeting from 9th to 12th May, organized by Andrew
Chetely in London (Exchange). Have you heard from him about it? I hope to attend at least
part of it, if not the whole event. Will you be able to join? Considering your new appointment,
i 'was not sure how much time you could spare.
If there has to be a priority because of time constraints on your side, then the PHM Geneva
1oth-22nd is more crucial than the pre-Geneva phase, 7th~14th May. We shall be planning
Porto Alegre and WSF and your experience and contacts of of PHA and post PHA funding
and coordination is crucial. The dialogue with funding partners, I can manage with Andy, Olle
though your presence will be helpful (if feasible for you)
Please prepare a short note about PHA financial aspects- a sort of SWOT analysis to help us
plan PHA II finances better (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). It is on the
agenda for 17th May meeting on PHM strategy.
Did you get my clarification about PHM resource centre and have you followed up with
Christian Aid? Please mark a copy to me.
Regarding Bangladesh participation at PHM Geneva, 1 received a letter from Mr. Nouman

You will be supported by PHM, Zafrullah, by IPHC and one person perhaps Nouman of PHM
Bangladesh from some funds raised by Manoj Kurien of WCC for the event. Nouman will have
to participate in the NGO Forum for the health meeting in WHA as a panelist in the Alma Ata
Anniversary session- reporting from Bangladesh

’f al! the others have raised their own travel grants to Geneva ( which could you confirm
informally) then we are trying to find low cost accommodation and support for boarding and
lodging for them though this is not yet confirmed by PHM Geneva, since all low cost options
like Mandat, John Knox, Cenakel are booked up and they are still trying. Could you please
inform them of this uncertainty, informally ad perhaps reduce the number a bit only those
who can actively participate in the discussions should be encouraged to join the session.. If
possible, more can join the WSF in Mumbai in January.
Zafrullah has written an enigmatic letter asking me what are the plans for the PHM in MHA. It
means he may not have downloaded all the mails. Pls. Keep him informed.
We will need more copies of the testimonies. PLs go ahead and print another 1000 at least.
You will have to change the address of the secretariat at the back page.
How many charters do you still have'? Do we need to print more? We have been putting an
additional sticker on the sections on the “approval page” and “back page”. Can you pls. print
these and stick them on the copies you have?
For PHM Geneva and WHA meeting we will need at least 100 copies of the charter each
(totally at least 200) and the testimony. Can Dr.Zafaruliah and Mr. Nouman or anyone
coming directly to Geneva bring them? If there are posters from Bangladesh we could give it
to PHM Geneva participants on 16th May meeting (we will need at least a 100 each)
During my visit to Sri Lanka, I discovered that PHM Sri Lanka- through Vinya Ariyaratne of
Sarvodaya is planning a PHM / Health resource centre. At his request I put together a lot of
organizational details from CHC’s documentation centre. Would you be interested in a copy
of these for the PHM resource centre at GK Savar.
I spent a little time with Prem and Hari enroute to Sri Lanka and with Bala in Sri Lanka,
during the last week and am hoping that it will begin to bring them back actively into PHM
initiatives. Bala and Prem are attending PHM Geneva. Hope the Newsbrief is getting
completed. Wil! you be able to bring it to Geneva and release it just before that? Do you
need some information from the PHM Secretariat? We have been keeping Prem informed
about ail the developments since he was evidently putting together materials for the
Newsbrief. Do you need a short note on PHM-US tour and PHM-Sri Lanka or should we keep
it for the next Newsbrief.
We have not yet been able to find a good younger technical officer to support the work
though Srinidhi and Prasanna ( communications officer)are doing a good job and shaping up
well. Prasanna, Prahlad and I attended the PHM India national working group meeting in
Delhi on 11^/12^ April where plans for the campaigns on Right to Health and “hunger
watch” for Alma Ata Anniversary in India and joining the process of WSF were discussed. I
have now opted out of the Joint convenorship of PHM India from this meeting to prevent
conflicts of interest/ roles for the next 2 yrs. CHC will continue on NCC/NWG and Thelma,
Prahlad and Paresh 'will link into the process now. We have also resurrected the PHM India
website which Prasanna will moderate in addition to his present involvement with PHM
Global website.
Hope to get a reply to these issues from you as soon as possible in spite of your busy
schedule.

Dear Qaembhai.
Greetings from the PHM Secrelariat(Global) at CMC, Bangalore’!!
Thanks for the prompt response. Its a real disappointment that you cannot
join us at Geneva. Please do reconsider even if its only for 16th and 17th.
There is so much insight and experience you have which I/we need to tap for
WSF. PHA-U, PHM organisation etc.. Unfortunately Ekbal has also rung up to
say he cannot come. VCs seem to have some dificulty continuing with PHM !!
but we need diem. I shall call Prem tonight and fast forward the Newsbrief.
Xseneva meeting willbe a good time to distribute it. I shall try and see how
" adjust your ticket support to other. Thanks for arranging to send
testimonials, posters and charters through Zafarullah and Nouman. Awaiting
the final Bangladesh participant list.
keep us informed about all that you are planning/ evolving as VC. Would like
to support in whatever way possible.

Dear Ravi.
I received ail your correspondence. Sony for not responding some of the
emails of
yours due to my work load.
Unfortunately I will not be able to come to Geneva this time. I will
prepare a short note
about PHM financial aspects for your meeting.
I submilled a short project proposal of PHM Resource Centre at GK with the
budget we
prepared to Christian Aid Bangladesh representative Ms. Tanja. She told me
Christian -Aid
2^ill be able to fund 13,000 pounds for the year. The proposal is probably
Pin the process.
I will send you a copy.
pLe.
I am trying to contact Nouman to reduce the Bangladeshi participants in
WHA. Will it be possible
to spare my ticket for Geneva to send a participant from GK ?
Ptw
J already printed 1000 copies of testimonies with correct address. We will
put the sticker
on the Charier. I can give 200 copies of testimonies and Charter. Let me
see how many
copies Dr. Zafruilah and Nouman can take with them. They will also cany
few posters with
them.
Il will be good if you could send the copies of the organisational details
|kom CHC’s documentation
Rntre to PHM Resource Centre at GK.
Prem told me he is going to send the draft materials of News Brief which I
have not received yet.
I do not know how much materials he already organised. If there is space
left we can include new
materials. Please contact Prem and ask him to send the final materials to
GK, if we want to print
next News Brief before WHA.
Its a great challenge to be the VC of Gono Biswabidyalay.. Trying hard to^
organise it.
Best wishes.

Fw: TM - PH A
Dear Zafarullah,
Greetings from People’s Health Movement Secretariat (Global) at CHC, Bangalore!
Further to Unni’s letter to you about TM - PHA - I, Dr. Ekbal had a telephonic conversation with me. I am not
sure whether in the short time available making an attempt to get Vijayan or Vinod to the PHM Geneva
events in mid-May will be possible or whether we shall get enough time to discuss the idea. We can try if you
think its worthwhile. However Dr. Ekbal has suggested that we could consider a meeting in Bangalore
facilitated by PHM Secretariat in the first week of July. We are planning to have a day cf planning and
reflection with the India link group of the Secretariat (Ekbai, Mira, Mohan, Amit). We may include the other
ihree conveners / joint conveners i.e., Sundar, Abhay, Amitava and the JSA secretariat support team..
J/andana and Sarojini ano a few others. We could have an addition day or even two to discuss TM-PHA-I. He
suggests that we invite you, Qasem. Vijayan end Vinod and Prem and Hari John to plan the TM-PHA and
discuss all aspects including commercialization and saffronization. Should we invite Bala? Any one else at
this stage? CHC has a wide variety cf contacts in the South especially and with the help of Unni and our
FRLHT team (Darshan, Unni, Hafeel and Hari), we can invite a small core group of additional people to
brainstorm on the TM-PHA and initiate a framework and process towards evolving it. This could then be
shared widely and follow up discussions linked to WSF (Mumbai, January 2004) and Porto Alegre (July
2004). If this sounds feasible, we will have -c find some funds to support these preliminary meetings but I am
sure if we al! poo! in our resources and out creative ideas, something can be planned
Unni.. you, Prem and Hari, Bala, perhaps a>so Qasem if he considers the trip to Geneva for PHM (16th to 18th
only), will be there and we can have a preliminary discussion on some suitable informal opportunity.
Best wishes,

Dear Dr. Zafrullah
i trust you are fine.
Based on the discussions you had with Dr.Ekbal, there was a call from him enquiring the follow up to make
the TM-PHA happen.
Firstly, I apologise for not putting any focussed effort on this, mainly due to other pressing commitments.
Secondly, ! spoke to Vijayan on his arrival. I talked to him once again today. This is what has emerged during
^ur discussions (Weil, this is oniy one way of looking at the process).
1) To make the TM-PHA happen, it may be necessary to depute (/recruit) one senior person on a full time
basis. We may take lessons from the PHA-2000 as an experience.
2) l he process may take atieast 2 to 3 years. The mobilisation may be equally/ more important than the final
event.
3) We may use the opportunity in 2004 (Porto Alegre/ 2nd PHA) for a pre-event summit. We may push the
agenda straight way in such a way that one full day is devoted during the 2004 event for TM -PHA’s planning.
4) Since there will be many / most of the important players/ constituencies present during the WHA-PHM
event in Geneva (May 2003), it may be a good opportunity to discuss and take some decisions. This will have
many strategic values.
(a) We may make the announcement at Geneva and link it to the follow-up of PHM's work on Alma Ata for
the next three years. So we automatically take the PHM constituency along with us in the process.
(b) We may be able to enthuse (/ initiate a dialogue with) even the WHO system (may be a farfetched

Amei.can j\bCs and under US military guidance, it is likely to take more time before a common position and

some Urgent Follow-Up
Dear Qasembhai,
Greetings from PHM Secretariat (Global)!
1 tried to ring you urgently on Friday 5th March to find out how much it cost you to produce the 1000
copies of Newsbrief 10 and 11 and the People's Charter for Health for WSF. The WHO grant, which
was agreed upon has a documentation budget agreed upon by Andy, when he sent the requirements for
approval. Our bills in that sector do not add up to the whole amount (i.e, for Alma Ata Pack and
programme). Con you send me a bill for the Newsbrief urgently by fax, so taht I can put it up for
reimbursement and then send you the payement? (you can post it as well or send it through some one
coming to India)
Incidentally, three other follow up actions are urgently needed as well:
1. The pdf format of Bulletin 9 by email
2. The Directory of Addresses (PHA -1) by email
3. Your travel voucher to Mumbai, if you are expecting reimbursement

Re: WHO Support for International Forum for Defence of People's Health, Murnbai, 14-15
January 2004
Dear Mr. Bansal,
Greetings from Peoples Health Movement Secretariat!
Thanks for your letter of 2nd March with copy of letter of 18th February. The earlier one was not
received.
1.
Since we are still receiving all the meeting expenses / costs vouchers and accounts from our
conference secretariat which was set up with our partner CEHAT in Mumbai, there has been a
little delay. The account will be completed before 31ou March after we have received all the
accounts and reimbursement request.
2.
However as of 5th March 2004 the actual expenditure (specifically expenses / costs) related to
a. Conference hall reservation
b. Documentation / Duplication
c. Secretarial staff
ci. Communications
e. Conference Kits
f. Related preparatory activities (Meetings)
is being sent in the certified statement of expenses on Monday 8th March 2004. A more detailed
one will follow showing all the grants received and expenses incurred. We await the bill for the
publishing of newsletter which was a resource document covered at the IHF (communication)
and for some preliminary meetings as well which are likely to take the expenses over the 12,000 $
or equivalent to be received from WR India office.
3.
Please note that WHO is one of five contributions to the IHF conference and we need to book
the accounts again the items agreed in each grantee and this has taken time.
Awaiting prompt action,
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
Ravi Narayan

Re: From Ravi
□ear Ravi,
I understand your view point and I am sure you understand us as well and
the spirit for we are pressing. You know it very well that Mira 'will not be
able to participate in the steering group through JSA or through PHM-India
for a number of reasons which need not be elaborated.Best thing would be
Mira to represent IPHC and Maria to represent Latin America.Past
contribution in the formation and progess of PHA and above all, her
continued service in Health Movement should not be forgotten.
Best wishes,Zafrullah

by Qasem Bhai through e-mail.
3) As for money transferring the local PHA account still did not completed
prior accounts & Audit criteria of NGO affairs bureau. It will take some

clearance is done vvith you.

about PH A II
Dear Zafrullah,
Greetings from PHM Secretariat (Global)!
1. No news after Mauritius. How was the conference and the rally?
2. Heard about the severe floods in Bangladesh. How’s the situation now?
3. Mohib gave some information about the GBB admission enquiries by Mr. AS Mohamed (Asst. Prof of
Statistics / Demography at St. John's), if his daughter can join GBB this year, he is willing to come to GK Medical
College and teach Statistics / Demography for a while - perhaps on a short sabbatical from St John's
4. We have to start the mobilization process for PHA II in the South Asia region soon and also fund raising. I
beleive Bangladesh may hold the Asian Social Forurn in Dhaka in December.
5. Did you read about the Pakistan trip? I sent a communication recently. Zafar and colleagues are willing to host
a South Asian Health Assembly in April 2005. Any ideas?
Best wishes

Re: Payment for PHM publications
Dear Qasembhai
Greetings from PHM Secretariat (Global)!
Zafrullahbhai must have returned by now to give you all the news of Mexico
meeting. I paid him 500$ which I had from WHO (per diems) as part payement
for the PHM publications.
Thanks for the great job as before. We shall now plan for the next
newsletter for January for release at IHF - WSF. The rest of the payment
will be attended to soon including the earlier bill. We have the money, but
were awaiting instructions of how to transfer. Zafrullah and I have
discussed some options.
How is the GBB work getting along?

Re: [PHM_Steering_Group_02-03] Colombo visit
Dear Qasembhai,
Greetings from PHM Global Secretariat in transition!
1. Glad to hear that you may be in Chennai and Colombo later this month.
Hope we shall get an opportunity to talk on the phone.
2. We urgently need an email copy of the November 2001 plan of a People's
web (Circles of PFIM Geographical and issue). Can you send them?
3. If we send you the next Newsbrief 16 by 10th of September (the last one
from the Bangalaore Secretariat) can you print it and sent it through the
Bangladesh team who are coming to Delhi for International Women's Health
meeting 21-24th September.
4. What is the stock of Charters and other publications with you as of date?
We have to build a budget for reprints in the evolving next Secretariat
budget beyond September 2005 (LA proposal).
5. You have not sent your personal comments about PHA2. Also whether we
should (Prem, I and other) plan a sort of IPFIU course at GBB. Now with the
secretariat moving - one could focus on strengthening the South Asian region
in creative ways.
6. Andy and I are trying to sort the funding challenge - post PHA2 in as
creative a way as possible. But its also quite a nightmare - the last
madness that I shall be involved in!!
All the best,
Ravi Narayan

Kona's engagement was held on 12th of August. The marriage ceremony

Kajal was trying to go to Germany to one of his cousin who stays there.
She send her relevant papers to him to process. She will know the result by
another six weeks time. If it does not work she will come to Deenabandhu
to stay and work there. She can maintain cash book in Bangla. But very
much willing to learn English and local language.
Love
