Global social protection scheme moving from charity to solidarity

(Unicamente en inglés y en francés)

Medico international and the Hélène-de-Beir Foundation have just published the document "Global social protection scheme moving from charity to solidarity".

This document is a compilation of papers presented at the workshop on Global Social Protection held in Berlin from May 14th to 16th, 2012. This workshop brought together experts working in various fields related directly or indirectly to global health, such as the right to health, international taxation and financing mechanisms, and social protection. The objective of the workshop was to identify and present ideas, concepts and strategies for converting the current paradigm of charity-based international aid for universal health coverage into rights-based and operational solidarity. The document is designed as a background document for a policy paper on Global Social Protection.
