A strength of the People’s Health Movement (PHM), now 25 years old, is its capacious view of health and the determinants of health. In their People’s Charter for Health, PHM underlines the economic, social, political, and environmental challenges to health, including war, violence, conflict, and natural disasters. They call for a people-centred health sector in which “governments promote, finance, and provide comprehensive Primary Health Care as the most effective way of addressing health problems and organising public health services so as to ensure free and universal access”.
