“Yes to a robust, responsive and publicly-owned healthcare system!” – ILPS Hong Kong & Macau

ILPS Hong Kong and Macau asked governments of various countries to prioritize public interest first and to push for a robust, responsive and publicly-owned healthcare system.

In a statement, they criticized the decades of government neglect on the health sector all over the world as world leaders chose to put first profit instead of public health and called for these demands:

1. Social protection and guaranteed incomes and livelihood even under quarantine

2. Make the health care system public, not privatised; fund the needs of the hospitals and health workers

3. Mass testing and treatment for all in the face of COVID-19

4. Bailout the people, not the big corporations

5. Respect for democratic and human rights

【一】在社會隨離下，推行社會保障及保證收人及生計

【二】健康維護系統歸於公有，不要私營牟利、提供資金供應醫院及醫護人士所需

【三】在2019冠狀病毒疫情下，進行群眾檢測及為人民提供照護

【四】為人民買單，不是為大企業買單

【五】尊重民主及人權
