Goals and objectives for this course
The Jaipur IPHU will address all of the 'standard' objectives of other IPHU courses, see, but with a focus on the rights approach to health advocacy.
Preparation
Participants should come prepared:
- to describe in some detail an activist project or campaign or movement that they have been directly involved in; to describe in sufficient detail for the strategies, theories and skills of practice to be evident;
- to provide an overall assessment of the health challenges in their country and the status and prospects for PHM.
Students should provide an abstract of their activism case study and of their volunteered topic.
Students should visit the IPHU website and review all of the pages linked from the Library Page (which form the core of the material for formal presentation and discussion). Students should come prepared to comment on the implications for their own countries of the material covered in the different topics. For example:
- what is the extent of brain drain and what is being done about it?
- what is the role of the WB and IMF in health sector reform?
- what are the implications of the Government's dropping of tariff protection of domestic wheat?
- what is the role of the GFATM in India; access to medicines?
The program for all of fthe IPHU Short Courses is based on the People’s Charter for Health (PCH). We will explore the meaning of the PCH; analyse the challenges it presents and develop resources and strategies for the struggle for Health For All. Participants should ensure that they are very familar with the Charter. Try the PCH Quiz as a way of working systematically through the PCH and reflecting upon what we need to know in order to realise the vision.
Activities
The courses involve: lectures, small group discussions, debates, workshops and field trips and follow up study. Resource materials will take the form of hard copy readings, lecture notes and websites. More detail regarding the activities which comprise the IPHU course
