Subject: DISSEMINATE WIDELY: Deadline for online applications IPHU - 14 September 2018
Dear SC,
This email as a reminder that the deadline for submitting online applications for IPHU Savar is 14 September 2018!
IPHU will take place from 6 to 13 November followed by PHA4! CLICK HERE for more information
It would be great to disseminate the call for applications within your region and organisation and pro-actively encourage young health activists with an interest in the themes of Access to Medicines or Gender Justice to apply! This is a great opportunity to bring young health activists closer to PHM. This time they will also be part of PHA4!
The course to be held in Savar will commence as a single course, then split into two parallel streams of specialist study, dealing with medicines policy, and gender and health respectively, and then come together again for the final day. This plan is a notional framework. It is currently under development. Watch this space!
The common curriculum will include:
· the struggle for health and organized health activism: challenges, strategy and practice, achievements and new directions;
· social determinants of health: poverty, oppression and hierarchy; alienation and exclusion; racism, sexism and materialism;
· comprehensive primary health care: achievements, challenges, lessons and new directions; health system strengthening; the politics of health policy; and
· the political economy of health: imperialism and globalisation, the international financial institutions and the UN system; local issues and global pressures.
The curriculum for the access to medicines stream will focus on creating the conditions for the full deployment of the flexibilities provided for in the TRIPS Agreement (compulsory licensing, parallel importation, patentability criteria, the LDC waiver and the constraints and opportunities associated with existing national laws). In support of this focus topics will include:
· TRIPS plus provisions,
· the structure of the pharmaceutical industry,
· the regulation of the global production chain, and
· reform of research and development financing.
The curriculum for the gender and health stream will include:
· patriarchy and intersectionality: analysis of gender, caste, class, race, sexuality, and disability;
· reproductive and sexual health and rights;
· medicalisation of bodies: reproductive and advanced bio-technologies;
· rising fundamentalisms impacting health (resistance to abortion and sexuality education; honour killings, violence (gender, caste, communal, ethnicity);
· Health for All: role of the women’s movements - challenges and strategies.
Warmest
