Participate in the first Global Health Watch by submitting case studies. We are calling activists, health workers and academics from around the world to submit case studies and testimonies to supplement the first edition of the report.

The Global Health Watch is a non-government initiative aimed at supporting civil society to more effectively campaign and lobby for 'health for all' and equitable access to health care. This is not a matter of finding a technical or economic prescription, but is one that requires political mobilisation to shift resources and attention towards the needs of the poor, and to reform the very political and social institutions that have generated the state of ill health today.

The Global Health Watch provides a platform for academics, activists and non-government organisations to:
- Promote the accountability of governments and global institutions that affect health (such as the World Health Organisation, UNICEF and the World Bank)
- Identify policies and practices at the global and national levels that are unfair, unjust and bad for health
- Highlight the needs of the poor and reinvigorate the principle of 'health for all'
- Shift the health policy agenda to recognise the political, social and economic barriers to better health and to advocate alternatives to market-driven approaches to health and health care.

But Watch aims to do more than just produce another document - it also aims to provide a voice for health workers and the academic and non-government community from as many countries as possible.
