listen to an interview / exchange with Dr. Baj Mukhopadhyay, a physician and a core activist in the Canadian chapter of the People’s Health Movement who are hosting a day long discussion / assembly within the context of the upcoming World Social Forum in Montreal.
in this exchange Baj speaks about the People's Health Movement, the possibilities for building a health justice movement and the interconnections between health & many struggles for justice. also Baj offers some thoughts on the impacts of state & corporate-drive austerity on public healthcare in Quebec, Canada and beyond.
finally this interview ends with some reflections on the recent Brexit campaign and the ways that neo-liberal policies have created destabilization within the National Health Service in the UK, a context that has played a role in creating the social inequities and tensions that were exploited by many politicians campaigning in favour of Brexit.
