The corporate take-over of global health

Hi John,

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to remind us how essential publicly-funded healthcare and access to affordable medicines are – not just here but right around the world. But those things are threatened when corporations use their power to control the price of life saving treatments through patents and monopolies, and use trade deals to protect those patents and to gain access to public health services.

Come along to our free online event to hear more, and to find out how campaigners around the world are successfully standing up to the power of corporations.

The corporate take-over of global health - and how to stop it

When: Thursday 15 October at 7pm
Where: online on Zoom (link will be provided upon registration)

Featuring:

Umunyana Rugege, campaigner for healthcare access in South Africa and executive director of SECTION27

Natalie Rhodes, from the People’s Health Movement UK and member of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines

Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now

Whether a veteran healthcare campaigner or a newly concerned activist, this event is for anyone with an interest in making a world where healthcare is accessible to everyone.

The US-UK trade deal could give corporations everything they want. Help us stop it.

We are campaigning to stop the toxic US trade deal which is likely to lower food standards, weaken chemical regulation, increase medicine prices and block climate action.

Regular gifts give us the long-term stability to plan effective campaigns for a more just world. And they will help further the campaign to stop this toxic trade deal.
