Proposta oficial

26/05/2021 07:10

In the module Privatisation and commercialisation of health we aim to understand and explain what is the meaning and the effects of privatisation of Health, how it works and which are the instruments of governments at national, international and global level to make it effective. We will also explore existing actions and processes for social transformation that may reverse this trend.

We enter here the section on Experiences of Transformation

We are here not just to understand, but to change the board of the game. That is why besides going into the problematic description of reality and discussing what needs to be changed, we can also get inspired by the knowledge on how things are being changed.

So the section on Experiences of transformation is going to feed us with this kind of experiences, so that later we can start imagining our own actions, together and also with our own movements at home.

3. Small talks, Big Changes

A conversation which gathered Philippine activists Kat Berza and Dr. Joshua Sanpedro, with Shatha Odeh from Palestine. They both shared their involvement to stop and reverse government policies against the right to health, and reflected on the life experience as activists.

Now, time for debate and bringing in your opinions

You may react to these presentations and materials the way you prefer, though we may trigger through some questions:

Your approach: What is your own approach to the perspectives of social determinants, social determination and intersectionality of health? How to integrate a transformative perspective or action on this regard in the struggles for the right to health?
Using these materials: Do you think these materials could have some use for future trainings and awareness raising actions? (Is there something that should be improved, for it to happen?)
