| − | The People’s Health Movement (PHM) is a growing coalition of grassroots organisations dedicated to changing the prevailing health care delivery system. This system is failing to address effectively the deteriorating health of most of the poor worldwide. The membership of PHM comprises grass root and activist health organisations largely from Third World countries.

| − | The purposes and orientation of the PHM are spelled out clearly in the People’s Charter for Health [http://phmovement.org/charter/ PHM Charter]. We aim to entrench the right to health as a basic human right. We aim to tackle the broader determinants of health (globalisation, environmental degradation, violence and war). We see a people-centred health sector with strong popular participation as keys to these goals.

| − | The PHM affirms that the vision of the Alma-Ata Declaration on Primary Health Care is still relevant if the structured unfairness of the current global regime is to be reformed as part of creating the conditions for better health. This perspective has a particular relevance for rich world countries such as Australia who are beneficiaries of the disposition of resources, ideologies and power. This is the big challenge facing the PHM in Australia.
