MEREDITH FORT, MARY ANNE MERCER, STEVE GLOYD & STEPHEN BEZRUCHKA

Tuesday, January 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Four scientists and activists affiliated with the UW School of Public
Health and Community Medicine's Health Alliance International speak out
about the devastating effects of the privatization of health care by the
World Bank, WTO, and other interests on the health of millions worldwide,
as documented in Sickness and Wealth: The Corporate Assault on Global
Health (South End).

"A timely, radical, and accessible tool for understanding the
corporate attack on health care as a right. An exceptional mix of activist
and scholarly voices makes Sickness and Wealth stand apart. This book is
indispensable to those interested in health and social justice." Sarah
Shannon, Hesperian Foundation.
