In view of upcoming elections, the Odisha Health Rights Forum in collaboration with civil society organisations has launched a campaign on health rights.
The objective of the campaign is to mobilise voters and other stakeholders to ensure health rights commitments from political parties and their candidates.
The campaign would be rolled out in 10 constituencies and 14 districts in the first phase.
Post election, the campaign would engage CSO, Media and other civic groups to track the commitments made in the manifesto and built pressure on the Government to implement the commitments.
Attending as chief guest, former administrator Dr Aurobinda Behera called for a continuous review of the manifesto and regular interface with political parties. JSA State convenor Gouranga Mohapatra presented the health scenario of State with demands.
Pravas Mishra Santosh Patra from the Oxfam coordinated the consultation.
Six campaign posters were released.
