The Jan Swasthya Abhiyan is the Indian circle of the People's Health Movement, a worldwide movement to establish health and equitable development as top priorities through comprehensive primary health care and action on the social determinants of health. 

The Jan Swasthya Abhiyan coalition consists of  over 20 networks and 1000 organisations as well as a large number of individuals that endorse the Indian People's Health Charter a consensus document that arose out of the Jan Swasthya Sabha held in December 2000 when concerned networks, organisations and individuals met to discuss the Health for All Challenge.

The National Health Assembly - II

JSA has decided to hold the Second National Health Assembly (NHA 2) from 23rd to 25th March 2007 at Bhopal. The overarching theme for the National Health Assembly would be “Defending the health of people in the era of Globalisation”. Within this framework, various thematic issues could be discussed with the focus on pointing out key policy deficiencies and then sharply posing the alternatives. Prior to the Assembly three or four pre-assembly national conventions, state consultations and conventions, district, sub-district and community meetings and enquiries would be conducted as part of a broad social mobilisation process.
