The People’s Health Movement (PHM) is the largest network of Health For All activists in the world. It consists of people’s organisations, civil society organisations, NGOs, social activists, health professionals, academics and researchers working to establish health and equitable development as top priorities through universal, comprehensive primary health care and action on the social determinants of health. The network arose from the First People's Health Assembly held in Savar, Bangladesh in December 2000.
The PHM network consists of country and issue based circles. It is coordinated by a global secretariat currently based in South Africa and headed by Bridget Lloyd.
