Dear All,

We have forgotten Alma Ata

The promises made to us by the international community in Alma Ata declaration have been systematically repudiated by the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO and its predicessors, the World Health Organization, and by the Indian Govt. that functions under the dictates of international Finance Capital. The forces of ‘Globalisation’ through measures such as the structural adjustment programme are targeting our resources- built up with our labour, sweat and lives over the last fifty four years- and placing them in the service of the ‘global market’ for extraction of super profits. The benefits of the public sector health care institutions, the public distribution system and other infrastuctures- such as they were – are being taken away from us.
