GLOBAL HEALTH NEEDS PUBLIC PHARMA !

Human chain

Visibility action for a “republicization” of the pharmaceutical industry

In different regions of the world, on the same day, citizens get up and in a roped party to climb against the merchandization of access to health for all!

Live connection of two roped parties with the global videoconference of the MoveUp 2021 initiative chaired by Riccardo Petrella, who will proclaim the Citizens’ Memorandum.

The Citizens’ Memorandum is addressed to Inhabitants of the Earth and to representatives of civil society. It will be communicated for information to the President of the European Commission and to the President of the Italian Council of Ministers who are together hosting the G20 Global Health Summit on May 21, 2021 in Rome.
