For information:

Doctors of the World is part of the Médecins du Monde network, an international aid organisation that provides medical care and gives a voice to vulnerable people. They are currently running an e petition asking the UK Government to uphold the rights of vulnerable refugees to access healthcare regardless of ability to pay. They are seeking support for this petition. 100,000 signatories are required for this petition to be considered for debate in the UK Parliament which is quite a challenge so your help to raise support for the petition would be greatly appreciated.

To find out more about the 'Health Is Not A Luxury' e-petition you can read about it here on the DOW UK website:
http://www.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/campaign/healthisnotaluxurysignourpetition.asp

It is possible to link through from this webpage to the HM Government's website where you can sign the e-petition.


Many thanks
