People's Health Movement (PHM)

General Information
The People´s Health Movement (PHM) has its roots deep in the grassroots people's movement and owes its genesis to many health networks and activists who have been concerned by the growing inequities in health over the last 25 years. The PHM calls for a revitalisation of the principles of the Alma-Ata Declaration which promised Health for All by the year 2000 and complete revision of international and domestic policy that has shown to impact negatively on health status and systems.

Objectives

• To promote the Health for All goal through an equitable, participatory and inter-sectoral movement and as a Rights Issue.
• To encourage government and other health agencies to ensure universal access to quality health care, education and social services according to people's needs and not people's ability to pay.
• To promote the participation of people and people's organisations in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of all health and social policies and programmes.
• To promote health along with equity and sustainable development as top priorities in local, national and international policymaking.
• To encourage people to develop their own solutions to local health problems.
• To hold accountable local authorities, national governments, international organisations and corporations.
