JALI

Another offshoot of our 2009 conference is JALI, or the Joint Action and Learning Initiative on National and Global Responsibilities for Health. We are one of the steering committee members, and several other members attended the 2009 or the 2012 conference. JALI recently launched its Manifesto for Health Justice and the Framework Convention on Global Health, which we support. The Framework Convention would “Ensure the availability of sufficient national and international resources for health, including fair, progressive, effective, and transparent taxation through improved tax systems and innovative forms of tax, such as on financial transactions, tobacco products, alcohol, unhealthy foods, and environmentally damaging processes”, which is what we call global social protection for health. Please have a look at the Manifesto, and endorse it.
