People’s Health Movement (PHM) and the Third World Network (TWN) are accepting applications for an International People’s Health University (IPHU) on “The Struggle for Health and Access to Covid-19 Medical Products”. This is an advanced level course aimed at professionals and activists already working on or having knowledge of the issues of intellectual property and access to medicines and medical products.

The online course with two sessions every week (Wednesday and Saturday) is spread over a period of three weeks starting December 1, 2021.

The course will discuss issues related to access to Covid-19 medical products and the larger political economy of health. In particular, the course will cover issues around the science, research & development and intellectual property barriers such as patents and trade secrets. It will also explore various solutions to increase access to the Covid-19 medical products including the usage of TRIPS Flexibilities and the TRIPS Waiver proposal which has received considerable support around the world.
