Public Pharma, as articulated by the People’s Health Movement (PHM), refers to the research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of health technologies carried out under public ownership, with the explicit aim of serving collective health needs rather than private profit. It is understood not merely as a corrective to so‑called market failures, but as a systemic infrastructure that redefines medicines and health technologies as public goods.

Public Pharma offers a powerful alternative to pharmaceutical systems driven primarily by commercial interests. As defined by the People's Health Movement (PHM), it encompasses the public ownership of the research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of medicines and other health technologies, with the explicit goal of meeting collective health needs rather than generating private profit.
