Synopsis

Since its first edition in 2005, Global Health Watch (GHW) the flagship publication of the People's Health Movement (PHM) - has been critically reporting on the state of the world's health. Published every three or four years, it comments on developments in global health while focusing on continuities with past popular struggles. As with previous editions, GHW7 comes to life with contributions from over one hundred activists around the world, sharing experiences and analysis on issues 10:16 12/02/2026affecting people's health in the contexts they live in and efforts to progress towards greater health justice. This process was energized by the fifth People's Health Assembly (PHA5), the global gathering of PHM, that took place in Argentina in April 2024 under the motto 'Making 'Health for All' our struggle for 'Buen Vivir'. Political contributions from Latin America are manifest in the first GHW7 section, dedicated to 'The global political and economic architecture', where an up-to-date analysis of current health crises is followed by contributions that frame them in an eco-feminist perspective, showing how alternatives can be rooted in ancestral wisdoms and the practice of 'Buen Vivir'. The second section addresses old and new challenges for public and global health systems through the critical lenses of gender justice and decoloniality. The third section, 'Beyond Healthcare,' addresses key social and environmental determinants of health, while the 'Watching' section critically apprises the state of global governance for health with a focus on several key institutions. The final section, 'Resistance, struggles and alternatives,' highlights areas of transformative change by health activists in a global context of increasing repression. The book ends with a chapter on PHA5, highlighting how collective action is the most powerful medicine against ill health and health inequality at the human and planetary levels.
