People's Health Assembly II. The Second People's Health Assembly (PHA II) will be held July 18–23, 2005, in Cuenca, Ecuador. Join us to: promote and extend the People's Health Movement (PHM) as a space that allows for the revival of the spirit of "Health for All"; strengthen global action for the right to health as a fundamental human right; enlarge the debate and the resistance to all mechanisms that violate the right to health of the people (such as neoliberal reforms, globalization or militarization); and share knowledge and practices of alternative models for the promotion and provision of community health. PHA II will be hosted by the International People«s Health Council, a worldwide coalition of people's health initiatives and socially progressive groups and movements committed to working for the health and rights of disadvantaged people - and ultimately of all people. IPHC is a founding member of the People's Health Movement and serves on the International Steering Committee of PHM. For more information about PHA II visit www.iphcglobal.org.
Social Medicine Portal.

Liberation Psychology. The Seventh International Congress of Social Psychology of Liberation will be held at the University of Costa Rica from November 16–19, 2005, with the theme: "Another World is Possible, Another World is Necessary: Challenges for Liberation Psychology."

Global Health Watch. This new bi-annual report will provide an alternative to the World Health Report. The Global Health Watch report will provide an alternative perspective on health that places equity, human and social rights, the politics and economics of development, and the centrality of health systems development at the forefront of international health debates. In addition, the report will act as a monitor of the performance of global health institutions, development and multilateral agencies, multi-national corporations and nations. The report has been initiated by the Peoples Health Movement, Medact and the Global Equity Gauge Alliance and will be launched at the World Health Assembly in May 2005 and at the PHA II in July 2005. For more information, e-mail ghw@medact.org.
