Organizer: Medact (UK) and IPPNW Germany

Speakers: David Mc Coy (speaker), Kirsten Schubert (moderator)

The Global Health Watch (GHW), written from the perspective of civil society, puts global health in its political and economic context, and analyses the powerful influences that determine the social and economic determinants of health globally. The workshop will provide an opportunity to debate the alternative paradigm for development that the GHW2 Section A proposes is essential for global health. It will also be an opportunity to discuss how specific further issues feed into this process, and how participants can contribute to GHW3.
