Conference Against Privatization of Health Care

About 250 leaders from hospital unions, health professional organizations, community leaders, academics and other health activists were gathered yesterday (July 18, 2012) at the Social Hall of the University of the Philippines Manila to share ideas on current issues besetting the country's health care delivery system, formulate a unity statement and a general plan of action. Essentially, our call to the Pnoy government: provide adequate funds for health care, no to privatization of public hospitals and health services. The conference was organized by the Network Opposed to Privatization of Health Services, in which the Alliance of Health Workers is among the convenor.
