From the People's Health Movement (PHM), comes a press release with their
reaction to the Bangkok Charter for Health Promotion, finalized a couple
of weeks ago at the 6th Global conference on health promotion.

"The Bangkok Charter for Health Promotion, adopted at the recently
concluded 6th International Conference on Health Promotion, is an
inadequate and timid document that falls far short of what is required to
tackle global health problems today.

The Conference was organized by the World Health Organisation and
Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health and was attended by 700 leading
health promotion experts from more than 100 countries around the world.

The People’s Health Movement (PHM), an international civil society network
of health professionals, academics and non-government organizations, is
dismayed and disappointed by the Charter and by the failure of WHO to take
the opportunity to offer leadership on a progressive agenda to improve the
health of the global poor."
