This booklet includes a selection of stories and testimonies from different parts of the world, presented at the first People's Health Assembly. This was a meeting of 1,500 people from 90 countries, working in health, development, human rights, agriculture, trade, economics and the environment -- many at grassroots level. Their experiences illustrate the relationships between global, regional, national, and/or local policies and the experiences of communities and individuals. Stories are drawn from community-based health care, intersectoral collaboration, and organised action addressing social and economic threats to health
