Subject: Reminder - HEN Seminar: Human rights, equity and health; 28 March
2003 at the LSE
Hi
Just a reminder of the HEN seminar being organised by Debbie Fox, Jeanelle
de Gruchy, Eileen O'Keefe and Alex Scott-Samuel, on the subject of 'human
rights, equity and health' (see the draft programme below). The seminar will
be held at the LSE on March 28 next year, and there is no charge to attend.
If you haven't done so already, could you let me know if you plan to come (I
have a room for about 60 people I think, and I have about 50 people marked
down for attendance, so if you want to attend, you'll need to be quick in
informing me).
Best wishes
Adam Oliver
