В швейцарском кантоне Женева минимальная заработная плата с 1 ноября 2020 года будет составлять около 23 франков (25 долларов) в час. Об этом сообщает CNN. На прошедшем 27 сентября референдуме граждане поддержали введение минимальной почасовой оплаты труда на уровне 23 швейцарских франков без вычета налогов, что на 5 франков больше, чем сейчас. В Женеве местные профсоюзы рассчитывают, что поднятие минималки позволит "побороть бедность, содействовать социальному сплочению и уважению к достоинству людей". Поскольку в Швейцарии стандартная продолжительность рабочей недели – 42 часа, то заработная плата работника с минималкой без вычета налогов может превышать 4000 евро. А у нас только всё хуже и хуже. Что скажете?

It has been almost two years since Amit’s passing away and I still often have the urge to share a thought with him and get his sharp perspective, his wise words, his powerful way of being in the world and his warm support in return. We coincided only in a few intense WHO Watch events but that was more than enough to create an impression for life on me (and on many of us who were so lucky to cross paths with him) and to look up to him as a mentor, a light and a comrade ever since. Amit lit a fire in so many hearts. He also gave space, tools and insight to help all of us (those of us who felt mentored by him and also the wider global health justice community) foster and give a directon to our internal fires. He did all of that with so much kindness, humility and humbleness, almost always taking the back seat, despite indisputably being one of the sharpest minds in the global health arena. Almost everything we deal with is a remix of the past presented in a different way - innovation usually resides in how old stuff is re-shuffled and re-organised to create new shapes. But Amit was one of those very special people who had the gift of imagination: beyond reshufling and reshaping, truly imagining. His sharpness meant he could cut through the layers of narratives, help you see through, and imagine beyond. He would go to the root, to the core, and speak to power. And never forget what really matters to the human being, life. His death is a huge, saddening and irreparable loss. The world is a poorer place without him. Notwithstanding, Amit continues to be an inspiration. We can only hope to do our best to carry -in our work, in our struggles, in our life and in the way we are in the world- the fire and kindness that he inspired in us.

Dr. Amit Sengupta was someone whose name I heard regularly at KOENIG, New Delhi, India in the year 2013. My facilitators made kind remarks about him, as regards his dedication to the struggle for universal access to health, and worked on issues related to public health in India. Not until now, I just realized that he is the same person here as the one my facilitators revered. I humbly offer my condolences and solidarity to Amit’s wife Tripta and son Arijit. I would be honored to join PHM and JSA to continue to propagate Amit’s vision of strengthening the public health movement towards health for all. Thank you.

Друзья, щедро делюсь с вами информацией. Нашла тут сайт, при добавлении на который, мой баннер размещается на всех сайтах сделанных одной web-студией, их не много, но они достойные! Есть посещаемые социальные сети и видно, что функционирующие Интернет магазины... Я думаю получить такую рекламу сразу всего за 5 рублей в сутки не плохой вариант. Да это ротатор, но метрика стала показывать заходы с этого сервиса и некоторые длятся почти два часа с четырьмя зелеными кружками, раньше такое если и было то очень редко. Если что не так, не судите строго, посоветуйте, может я не права? Каралинка - Попробуй баннерный ротатор

We expressed our sincere tribute to Sir Amit Sengupta.

Jennifer Chan
University of British Columbia
I was fortunate to meet Dr. Sengupta in Delhi back in 2011 when I was researching my book on AIDS activism, Politics in the Corridor of Dying. My interview with him, lasting 3 hours (!) was the single most insightful meeting of that year. He was the institutional memory of not only the PHM but of so many overlapping health movements. He opened up so much of the insider politics and pushed me to think deep and hard about the power struggles within health civil society and AIDS activism. I was so impressed by his honesty and integrity. I'm forever grateful for the opportunity of meeting him. The world is poorer without him for sure, but his generous spirit and unwavering commitment to equal access to all continue to guide us in our work. In honor of Dr. Sengupta, I want to share with you all two quotes from him in my book: "You cannot force change in the name of civil society. Civil society is not a substitute for democratic governance. Civil society is not accountable to anyone. The mere presence of civil society does not make an institution more democratic." "When you create a global movement that is issue-based, it is virtually impossible to build from the ground. All global movements are built from the top by a few individuals. They may be extremely well meaning and democratic. But structurally, they are built from the top. You can’t get away from it. It does not mean that people who built the movements do not work with the community. I am not arguing against global movements. The best you can do is to try to put as many checks and balances in place to make sure that global movements understand their own limitations, that you have an extremely limited mandate to do a small number of things, which means it requires a certain level of humility not to be asserting on behalf of 7 billion people. Within PHM, we have this debate about PHM upper case and phm lower case. PHM upper case is global leadership; phm lower case is the different organizations on the ground. The whole challenge is to build a relationship between the upper case and the lower case where the upper case is at least open to what the lower case is saying and doing and puts in place processes that are open."

Chandra Daniel

Amit Sengupta was a dedicated professional in addressing various public health issues. His dedication to the People's Health Movement, Global Health Watch and the WHO Watch, is in itself the best legacy he has left behind for us to follow.

Sharad Onta

The pain and grief due to departure of Amit can never be expressed in the words. Despite his physical absence, Amit will always be with me in the memories of the moments we worked together in different circumstances. They will be inspiration for me in difficult path of struggle towards the mission of People's Health Movement.

Dr. Amit Sengupta combined skill, knowledge, and experience with a big heart, sincerity, modesty -- and an organizer's energy and drive to right the wrongs he saw in the world.

I first met Amit at a meeting in Delhi in 2011 and was immediately drawn to his calm demeanor, positive energy and clear-minded commitment to the betterment of the lives of the poor, disempowered and marginalized. I admired Amit not just for his encyclopedic knowledge across a range of social and economic issues, but also for the human connection he established with so many people. Modest, approachable and kind in person yet unyielding in principle. Thank you Amit, for lighting the way. You will be deeply missed.

CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND CONTRIBUTION OF THE LATE Dr. AMIT SENGUPTA, PHM (at the World Congress of Bioethics, SJNAHS, Bengaluru, Opening plenary 5th Dec 2018) INTRODUCTION BY DR. RAVI NARAYAN, SOCHARA, PHM– International Advisory Committee Dear friends and members of the Global Bioethics Community, Today we have gathered for the 14th World Congress of Bioethics celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Alma Ata Declaration for Health For All. At this meeting, we were all looking forward to the presence of Dr. Amit Sengupta of the global People’s Health Movement who had been invited to the opening plenary to link the recently concluded 4th People’s Health Assembly in Savar, Bangladesh – a gathering of health activists and the primary health care community with this congress – a gathering of global bioethics community so that we could all work together towards Health For All in an unequal world. Unfortunately the recent untimely demise of Dr. Amit Sengupta a few days ago has left us all much shaken but we have decided to use this opportunity to celebrate his life since Amit was • A scholar activist who was deeply committed to Health For All and not just health for many more or health for those who can pay • Who brought to his life and time a commitment to equity, social justice, universal health and healthcare and progressive struggle for a just society • Who started off as a science movement activist and later deeply embraced all aspects of People’s Health Movement read full @... https://www.dropbox.com/s/8h7jjmajzct5phw/CELEBRATINGTHELIFEANDCONTRIBUTIONOFTHELATEDRAMITSENGUPTA.pdf?dl=0 We end this tribute by reminding all of you that the People’s Health Movement which evolved the People Charter for Health in 2000AD at the first People’s Health Assembly gave us a movement with a vision which included Equity , ecological and sustainable development and peace are at the heart of our vision of a better world – • a world in which a healthy life for all is a reality • a world that respects, appreciates and celebrates all life and diversity • a world that enables flowering of people’s talents and abilities to enrich each other • a world in which peoples voices guides the decision that shapes our life Amit gave 60 years of a full life to action, reflection, writing, exhortation, organization and mentoring by example. May we all continue to build Health For All with the same enthusiasm and commitment in his memory. (A powerpoint presentation on Amit Sengupta, including participation in events and initiatives and his publications, prepared by D Suresh of SOCHARA / PHM / MNI / IPHU was played continuously as a back drop during the tributes. This is attached as a link. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w7fw3s9ve1pdooy/AACxhc9phdK1ulOm7WJ-1evja?dl=0)

Like so many, I cannot get over the shock of hearing of Amit's death. Since I heard the sad news I have been trying to remember when I first met him. And I can’t. It feels as if he has always been there. I will miss him, his intelligence, humour, friendship and kindness. No World Health Assembly will ever be the same. It is on us to continue his work and pursue his idea that "Struggle for health is a struggle for a more caring world"

The Geneva Global Health Hub will never be the same. What a contribution and leadership Amit has played to the fight for UHC and advancing the right to health. We remember him as a powerful advocate, he made lasting impression on our colleagues at Wemos, as part of the WHO watch, the G2H2, PHM and other ways we have worked together in global health. Our sincere condolences to all his loved ones. On behalf of all Wemos team.

National Alliance of People's Movements (NAPM)
Amit’s sudden death has come to each and everyone in the movement as a shock and we are yet to come to terms with it. Amit was a friend, a comrade and warrior of people’s access to health, and a die-hard advocate of community and public health. We agreed to disagree on many occasions but his views shaped our opinion on many of these issues. While, some of our colleagues worked more regularly as part of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan, of which NAPM is a long standing member, but many of us worked with him on other collective forums be it the Asia Social Forum, World Social Forum or the later processes. Dr. Amit Sengupta was the Global Coordinator of People's Health Movement and National Co-convenor of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan India, but he wore many hats, and wore them with aplomb. Many of us will miss his presence in various people’s movement platforms at national and international levels. He was one of the finest intellectuals in the country who worked to ensure that everyone gets access to medicines and quality affordable medical services. We found common cause with his emphasise on the social factors of health and the wider politics around the health and capital. His sharp critique and critical engagement with the modern science, neo liberalism and socio-economic aspects of technology, helped us get an incisive insight in to the developmental processes. He will be remembered for his exceptional organisational capabilities visible in many of the gatherings and coming together, which he facilitated, including just concluded third People’s Health Assembly in Raipur and fourth Global Public Health Assembly in Bangladesh. He not only curated and crafted these gatherings but had the amazing ability to take people along, build consensus and also provide and give space to younger generations, a quality not often found. In his death, our movement has lost a friend, a comrade, an activist, an intellectual and a teacher and trainer. His untimely and sudden death in Goa has shocked and saddened everyone. We at National Alliance of People's Movement (NAPM) pay our deepest condolence to his friends and family. We can only hope to collectively keep working to carry forward his legacy and the work. Zindabaad Amit !

Tomorrow on 9th December, we the members of JSA, AIPSN & BGVS are going to organize a memorial meeting to remember our beloved guide, philosopher Dr. Amit Sengupta at Lohia Academy, Bhubaneswar.

Mira Shiva, Chinu Srinivasan and other friends at AIDAN
All India Drug Action Network (AIDAN)
AIDAN shares its deep condolences and grief at the sudden, shocking, untimely passing away of Dr. Amit Sengupta, a leading activist of the Indian and Global People's Health Movement. Starting from the editing of the book in 1986, 'Drug Industry and the Indian People,’ Amit was deeply involved in the advocacy for pro-people rational drug policy. Since then he had consistently worked on different aspects of pharma policy – especially on Access to Essential Medicines, national self-reliance, Intellectual Property Rights and the full use of the TRIPS flexibilities. His important contribution to the National Working Group on Patent Laws to ensure inclusion of TRIPs flexibilities in the Indian Patents Act was widely appreciated. Amit wrote and shared the concerns for Policymakers as well as lay persons with equal ease. After the formation of the Jan Swasthya Abhiyan, as colleagues in the JSA we in AIDAN were happy to see Amit grow into the leadership role in the JSA due to his all round qualities like his unflinching committment to the cause of People’s Health, his sharp intellect and analytic mind, capacity to articulate in a simple understandable convincing manner, and involvement at grassroot levels. The sudden passing away of this fellow activist-intellectual and friend has created a big, big unbridgeable void in the movement for pro-people rational drug policy and in People’s Health Movement in general. As AIDAN we join fellow activists in JSA in paying our homage to Amit.

If there ever comes a time, let it be known that Amit Sengupta believed, represented, and defended the values of the People's Health Movement and advocated for Health for All. While he is no longer around, we as a global community of global health advocates, are challenged to fill the void he left, a massive challenge and one that will require both as he put it 'purposeful optimism' and ingenuity in order to achieve Health for All in our lifetime. Rest in power, friend, comrade, and brother!

Quand un proche nous quitte la vie paraît si fragile; et Quand un être s’éteint sa lumière de vie ne s’éteint point. Dr Amit Sengupta, pour tout ce que tu as laissé pour nous je te dédie à titre posthume ce poème intitulé "Il restera de toi…" de "Simone Veil". Il restera de toi… Il restera de toi ce que tu as donné. Au lieu de le garder dans des coffres rouillés.Il restera de toi de ton jardin secret, Une fleur oubliée qui ne s’est pas fanée. Ce que tu as donné, en d’autres fleurira. Celui qui perd sa vie, un jour la trouvera.Il restera de toi ce que tu as offert Entre les bras ouverts un matin au soleil. Il restera de toi ce que tu as perdu Que tu as attendu plus loin que les réveils, Ce que tu as souffert, en d’autres revivra. Celui qui perd sa vie, un jour la trouvera.Il restera de toi une larme tombée, Un sourire germé sur les yeux de ton coeur. Il restera de toi ce que tu as semé Que tu as partagé aux mendiants du bonheur. Ce que tu as semé, en d’autres germera. Celui qui perd sa vie, un jour la trouvera. ***Simone Veil***

Amit, I keep looking at your pictures in disbelief. No, I have not got over it. I have found it really hard to reconcile with your sudden, unexpected and absurd death. And I still do. The loss is immense. The human loss is immense. And the political one, too. It is quite too much to bear at this point of my life. That is how I have been feeling these past days.... You were the brightest mind. Yours was the sharpest analysis. And your silence would, each time, intelligently speak . It always carried a gentle authority, the wisdom of the man who sees issues and implications, and pushes things forward with endless persistence. Often, behind the scene. Since Gopa called me to share the news that "you were no longer with us", I have kept recalling the salient moments of our professional friendship: our first meeting in Savar for the first PHM assembly, the Geneva meetings around the WHO agenda items, the panels we have done together in Berlin, in Brasil, and again in Geneva. Your instant availability to respond to any request. The open attitude to new suggestions, and research hypothesis. The rigor of your mind and the courage of your positions, which unlocked the doors to our deeper understanding of the intricacies of global health. You were humble, nothing of the narcisism we find in some of our comrades. You were ready to take things on your shoulders, so immense was your sense of service and duty for the common good. Of course, you remain as an inspiration to us all. But I am senior enough to know, only too well, that nobody will replace your solid ancient wisdom and your endless capacity to stay in the backstage and serve others. Your sense of the collective responsibility towards humanity, in its diversity of needs and rights. There is a meaning in what happened to you that I cannot grasp in any way, right now. I hope I will. What I know for sure is that I shall always miss the special comradery that you were so good at inspiring, in our battles for the right to health. Thank you for everything you have done as a scientist, a medical doctor, a health activist, a man, a friend. Long Live Amit Sengupta!

I had the privilege of meeting Amit through the WHO Watch in 2017, and getting to know him better while spending 7 months in Delhi for my doctoral research. Though my time knowing Amit was relatively brief I will always be grateful that I got to meet and learn from him before his untimely passing. Beyond Amit's unparalleled technical knowledge, he imparted the gift of modelling a truly community-based and community-building approach to the global struggle for better health and access to healthcare. At the WHO Watch this manifested in teaching and facilitating workshops all day long with young advocates on a very wide variety of issues, followed by long evenings of cooking and socialising together to further build camaraderie and solidarity. Amit seemed to place a great deal of value in mentoring and building the next generation of advocates for Health for All. I hope he knew how much he inspired and motivated so many of us with his incredible breadth of knowledge and his warm and personable leadership style. I am so grateful to Amit for the time he dedicated to the WHO Watch and all of his valuable work with PHM, and also the time he took to chat and have coffee while I was in Delhi, though I know he would probably say that this reflects a neoliberal view of time. I will forever cherish the friendship and mentorship Amit offered me while I was in Delhi and everything I learned from him about health, health systems, and governance, but perhaps more importantly about how to approach advocacy and the importance of community and collective action. Amit seemed to truly embody the principle of people first, not only in his intellectual work but in all aspects of how he approached the world. His passing is heartbreaking and is an immeasurable loss to countless people and movements. He has inspired many of us along the way and I know we will do our best to carry his legacy forward. My deepest condolences go to everyone who is mourning Amit and especially to his wife, son, and close family and friends.

Coming together last week at a G2H2 Steering Committee meeting, we have been shocked to receive the news of the passing away of our friend and colleague Amit Sengupta. We will remember Amit through his dedication and humour organizing and facilitating the WHO Watch team. Amit also represented the People’s Health Movement in the Geneva Global Health Hub. We recall how he was able to present a digest of the most challenging items on the agenda of a WHO governing body meeting to us, at the civil society meetings organized by G2H2, without any hesitation. And how he could explain to a group of journalist the shortcomings of WHO protection against commercial interests. There would be so much more to share… Our thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends.

With a smile, a twinkle in his eyes, and a pithy observation and fugitive fact, Dr. Amit Sengupta charmed many into paying attention to the right things, and doing more, for more people. I can hardly believe Amit will not show up at the next World Health Assembly or NGO meeting somewhere in the World, and I am very sorry he is gone. He inspired and taught me, and I will miss him very much.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Amit, our friend, colleague, and an inspiring treatment activist who leaves behind an impact on the world. We express our sincere condolences to his wife, son and family. Amit leaves behind an impressive legacy. He not just contributed to, but shaped the agenda on treatment and universal access. Due to his work many more people received essential treatment and will continue to do so because of the path he laid.

International Association of Health Policy in Europe
The international movement for health is still shocked with the unbelievable news of the premature departure of our comrade and friend Amit Segupta. Amit was a leader of our movement. His sharp academic and research view combined with his clear philosophical perspective resulted in his dynamic and influential involvement in the international popular movement for health. With limitless qualities and skills, Amit, usually working with a rare modesty, coordinated masterly all kind of activities, going from the intensive intellectual work of assuring the scientific and political cohesion of all the five issues of the Global Health Watch to the tremendous efficiency in reorganising, as a real magician, in a few hours, the programme of the 4th People’s Health Assembly, saving this crucial for the international movement event. Through his active involvement in the courses of the International People’s Health University and the coordination of the WHO Watch activities, Amit is the mentor of a series of young activists who had the chance to work with him. The strategic quality -seldomly found, unfortunately- of Amit’s presence was his ability, position and will to combine and articulate the local and the thematic movements to the real and big screen, i.e. to the international movement for social emancipation. The abrupt vacuum that his departure produced especially in this strategic perspective will, unfortunately, influence negatively the movement at this crucial period. On behalf of the members and activists of he International Association of Health Policy in Europe we offer our condolences and solidarity to Amit’ s wife Tripta and son Arijit and express our solidarity with all People’s Health Movement activists all over the world. Long live Amit Segupta! Hasta la victoria siempre! https://iahponline.wordpress.com/2018/12/03/in-memory-of-our-comrade-and-friend-amit-segupta/

The death of Amit is definitely a great loss. He was a towering colossus in the global movement for the realisation of public health for all. This was not just because of the expansive breadth of his knowledge and firm commitment to the struggle for a better world. It was also because of his warm heart. PSI mourns this death of a friend, comrade and ally. We extend our condolences to his family and PHM. We console ourselves with the fact that he fought a good fight, including with his intervention in debates. One of such moments was at the 30th PSI World Congress, last year: https://www.facebook.com/PSIglobalunion/videos/564475644000401/?__xts__[0]=68.ARA8lCohM1PpYzxcCkMjomM74B1ju5_G-4kzPp0IVTMxHlx06iA3rx74J4mo5g3EoYg6644KaUEbvmEy_xCvyoDFFpHSpyPaJUoKEEGGDax4sP4HKdruekVevdoiha2Ccle9Fp11paof9tdbD6uj8iI8VjrPIErqaxphp6BZMn4G23yYxbUxzk3jXZlUPfQxxAWeDKvpHdLqC43jGewtebiIKbhs1ydSrLcpZsNfKFptc2qIIZRwSsEXddyob25ApHCvyTWcg9c55mdJ5zzJ3YNPHWTT2FRadqLNkbofcayIe1uSUnYhAGreI_RcmpcudSd9x58V-shxlkBrFZVXfAkphiQ&__tn__=-R

Es difícil muchas veces entender la vida. La semana anterior compartimos la intensidad de la magia de la cuarta Asamblea de Salud de los Pueblos con Amit y ya a la siguiente no podemos seguir contando con la magia y compromiso de él. Una gran pena, una enorme tristeza a traviesa nuestro corazón por la partida de Amit. Sabemos que el PHM perdió de esos hombres imprescindibles de los que habló Bertolt Brecht. Lindo ver todos los tributos puestos acá y en otros sitios, que reflejan el enorme apreció y reconocimiento que miles, en multitud de partes del mundo, le tenemos a Amit. Aprecio que se tejió producto de la inteligencia, sencillez, compromiso y humor que Amit nos brindó. Sin duda Amit es de esos seres humanos que engrandecen nuestra especie humana, que revela que hay una cara poderosa de lo humano que teje, construye y trabaja por la construcción de una sociedad con solidaridad y justicia social. Agradecimiento a la vida de Amit, al hermoso legado que ha dejado. Adiós querido compañero Amit. It is difficult many times to understand the life. The previous week we shared the intensity of the magic of the fourth Assembly of Health of the Peoples with Amit and already the next one we cannot continue with his magic and commitment. A great sorrow, a great sadness to cross our hearts for the departure of Amit. We know that the PHM lost those essential men of whom Bertolt Brecht spoke. Nice to see all tributes placed here and in other places, which reflect the enormous appreciation and recognition that thousands, in many parts of the world, have for Amit. I appreciate that it was woven product of the intelligence, simplicity, commitment and humour that Amit gave us. Undoubtedly, Amit is one of those human beings who magnify our human species, who reveal that there is a powerful face of the human that weaves, builds and works for the construction of a society with solidarity and social justice. Thanks to Amit's life, to the beautiful legacy he has left. Goodbye dear companion Amit.

Amit da, as many young activists like me fondly call him, was such a wonderful activist, leader, mentor and comrade. Hundreds of activists from PSM and PHM circles in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are not really able to digest the cruel fact that we will no longer be able to listen to his sarcastic, incisive and informative analyses on the pro-corporate and anti-people health policies of the Neo-liberal regimes... He had a special bonding with Dr. Ramachandra Reddy People's poly clinic, Nellore and PHM in (United) Andhra Pradesh. The delegates of NPHA, Raipur and PHA, Dhaka from Andhra and Telanga are flooding our watsapp groups with their memories of him. At a time when PHM in Andhra was weakened, Amit da paid personal interest in connecting the threads and took care to bring the movement back onto track. We will miss him badly... I will miss him badly. Red salute Comrade Amit

I particularly remember my discussions with him during the World Health Assembly and WHO EB meetings that I attended. I really valued his perspective on health. His commitment for promoting universal health care was commendable. What struck me was his humility. His interaction with young professionals was inspiring. He will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to his family and to People's Health Movement.

It is with great sadness that we received the news today about Amit’s tragic passing. This is a tremendous loss of a towering yet unassuming leader in global public health. Amit’s commitment to improving the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable is unmatched. We at IDRC feel privileged to have worked closely with Amit and were inspired by his dedication to social justice issues in health. His untimely death will leave a huge void. But he has left all of us with a remarkable legacy to help us all continue on his path towards equitable health systems and to nurture young leaders, many of whom he mentored and nurtured. Deepest condolences to Amit’s near and dear ones from our health team and other colleagues at IDRC who had known Amit and appreciate his great contributions.

I first heard Dr Sengupta speak in Cape Town at the Global Health systems symposium and I recall his talk standing out as truthful, thoughtful. I went back to my notes, remembering that he made an impression on me. He challenged the global health and research community to confront power in all its dimensions - from our homes, families and within communities, global. He asked us to interrogate the impact of social movements. He wanted the research community to take seriously the practice of 'truth telling' when reflecting on the ebola crisis. I remember thinking how brave he was to say that it was a 'collective failure' because ebola could have been avoided if the global health community had invested in building public health systems across the world. He appeared careful of his words/ language, in a poetic way. I scribbled notes - language of care, solidarity, gender justice, equity, walk the talk. I am glad to have heard him speak in Savar, but sad that I didnt find him to have a conversation with him. Rest in power.

Dr. Amit, pour moi t'as été une source d'inspiration pour un militantisme en contre pouvoir constructif. Aujourd'hui tu as préféré te séparer de nous, mais nous le savons et sommes convaincus que tu seras toujours là à travers tes empreintes laissées dans le Mouvement. Alors que nous participions ensemble au Symposium Global sur les Recherches sur le Systèmes de Santé au Canada en novembre 2016, j'ai appris de toi "la lutte pour le Genre" à travers des discussions en coulisse et j'en ai fait ma lutte aussi afin de mobiliser la femme et la jeune fille dans le mouvement. A la clôture PHA4 à Bangladesh en novembre 2018, après les applaudissements des participants aux différentes personnes impliquées dans l'organisation, c'était le tour, dernier tour, de présenté un homme spécial. Dr Sanders qui le présentant n'avait pas trouver de mot directement pour représenter cette Personnalité et son rôle dans l'organisation de l'activité. J'ai vu AMIT débout sans mot, alors que les participants se mirent débout aussi pour l’applaudir. Plus de 5 minutes d'applaudissement, pour nous dire Adieu??? Que la terre de tes ancêtres te soit douce et légère. REST IN PEACE DR AMIT

I consider Amit a mentor and a friend en deeply appreciate him for his unwavering sense of justice, clarity, and humour in going about it all. We worked together closely during my years at Health Action International, when I was just starting my work as an health activist.

During my years living and working in India, I looked to Amit as my North Star. Even (or especially) in the midst of the petty internecine squabbles that can arise in any coalition, he was a calm and steadying voice, gently but uncompromisingly focused on our common goal of ensuring health for all. He had that rare combination of gentleness in spirit but fierceness in principle that all of us should aspire to. I will miss him.

I first met Amit sometime in 2001, when he invited me to a meeting on the WTO at the CITU office in Delhi. Since then I have been fortunate to work closely with him and he was always willing to give advice not just on health policy but on a range of issues. He deftly connected politics, society and economy through the prism of health and worked hand in hand with a range of movements in India and abroad – on labour, women’s rights, trade justice, science, occupational safety, corporate power etc. I will sorely miss him, as a mentor and friend. Rest in power, comrade.

When I got the news and got reconfirmation before being broken on the net, for a while, I just could not even grasp that Amit is no more with us. Writing 'was' for him is certainly a difficult thing as accepting that he is no more. I am not sure since I have known Amit....should be about three decades. The last I met him was in PHA 4 in Dhaka. I don't know from whom he got to know that I will attend PHA4 in Savar and he called me if I could chair one sub plenary. A few days earlier he called up if I could speak in the opening session of Indian Society for Rational Pharmaco-Therapeutics in Patna. I saw him in Dhaka after a gap and jokingly mentioned about increase of his abdominal girth, he smiled and said he is trying to reduce it. Amit was a person with attributes and full of life, his vast knowledge and articulation of complex issues in easy to understand manner always amazed and impressed me besides his phenomenon capability to be friends with everybody from any where in the world....... North to South or from East to West. He was a man of all and for all..... you could always count on him for any advise or for any assistance and he would be always willing. I recall, we travelled and worked on many events together especially the workshops we organised in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and many other countries for Commission on Social Determinants of Health of the WHO. Last two workshops we organised together were on IP and on free medicines in Delhi. Amit and his work will always be in our hearts and minds. Adieu Amit. Narendra

Just like everyone else, I too cannot believe what has happened & think of Amit in the past tense 😔. Have learnt so much from the various roles that he has played & all that he stands for & inspires. His explanation of the whole TRIPS & TRIPS plus issues is etched so clearly in my mind, his role in JSA/PHM, the global health watch related work, the GHW reports etc. etc. If we, who are associated with him through his work are so shocked & in grief, can't imagine what his family may be going through. Wishing all of us, especially his wife & son, are able to pull all our strengths & courage together.... With very very fond memories, regard & respect for Dr. Amit Sengupta

Imphal , dated 29/11/2019 Condolence on the death of Dr. Amit Sengupta. I ,Chairman of Jan Swsathya Abiyan (JSA), Manipur and leader of CITU Kshetrimayum Santa , condole the sad demise of Dr Amit Sengupta founding member of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan who passed away when celebrating his marriage anniversary in Goa due to swimming accident at a seashore. He was a doyen of People's Science Movement and People's Health Movement Worldwide.He spearheaded the People's Health Assembly-4 , Dhaka which was held from November 15-19, 2018 . Dr Amit Sengupta was among the prominent leaders of Dehli Science Forum and Jan Wsathya Abiyan in India. He worked for more than 30 years with various social movements around the world on the issues of Science and Society, especially his unabated dedication in the activities of JSA and All India People's Science Network is immeasurable. His demise will be an inconsolable loss for those who stand for the cause of better society. Dr Amit Sengupta was a regular contributor to Newsclick in various capacities. He vociferously advocated for the need for scientific temper and was at the forefront of the movement for access to health for all. People's Health Movement is a global network bringing together grassroot health activists , Civil society organisations, Researchers and Accademic Institutions. Dr Amit Sengupta has always played a significant role in Global Health as Convener JSA. Today the democratic movement in India and the health movement as a whole has lost an extremely committed voice. Kshetrimayum Santa Chairman Jan Swsathya Abhiyan Manipur

My association with Amit started 18 years ago. He has been instrumental in shaping my ideas. Amit was a rare combination of intellect, passion, promptness, integrity and humility. He treated everyone with equanimity and respect. For me this is a huge personal loss. My deepest condolences to his family and dear ones.

Martina Riccio
Centre for International Health (CSI) & PHM Italia
I had the opportunity to see Amit just once, two years ago, in Vancouver. But I feel I know him very well through what is part, from the beginning, of my experience at CSI that was passed down from him and his action in PHM: a radical political approach to the fight for health for all, a global perspective and action linked with local contexts, strong personal commitment and, as Chiara wrote, a concrete practice of solidarity. This is how I met Amit: through people, relations and actions that embody a radical political view of social justice. Moreover, what we did in the last years as PHM Italia, strengthening our networks for the right to health, wouldn't have been possible without the political, intellectual and organisational dedication of people like Amit, that supported us from distance, creating the material conditions for all this to happen. Thank you so much Amit! Nothing will destroy all this you and we collectively create.

Vinay Viswanatha
Open Society Foundations
Amit was a mentor and instrumental in shaping the values and perspectives that continue to guide me as person and as a professional. I first met him in 2005 when I shared an auto rickshaw ride from the Bangalore railway station to CHC office. An hour-long ride was just the beginning of a long learning journey with him – first as his mentee and then as a co-traveler in the health movement. Throughout the many uncertainties in the journey, Amit’s incisive analysis, strategic brilliance and humorous nature remained immutable. Of the many things he taught me along the way, two stand out: one, to never be afraid to speak out and stand up for what I believed in, and two, to keep constantly checking on whose side I am standing while analyzing any situation. And to do this in a kind yet determined way. The way he did it, all the time. The last time I heard from him was on Oct 29 when he asked me whether I was headed to Dhaka. Alas, I could not make it. Now, to realize I will never see him again in person makes me deeply sad and angry. The one solace is that his smiling face and the sound of his infectious laughter are etched in my memory. Amit, you have inspired and touched innumerable lives, far more than you ever realized. You may not be with us in this world any more, but please know that you will continue to be that inspirational figure for many of us to continue the struggle for a more equal and just world. Good bye for now, dear Amit… until I see you on the other side of the world...

I travel to Bhopal with one part of me weighed down but another part convinced that I will be sitting around the table with Amit very much there in Bhopal. And that over lunch i will hear of the fantastic Dhaka conference... It is always hard to accept  a door closing with finality. The only way forward is to find shared and collective ways of opening it again, rediscovering for ourselves the threads of his arguments and the paths to tread. Amit was the first AIPSN person that I met outside Karnataka during my early days with the PSM. I recall vividly that moment the day before my first AIPSC. That look and handshake that contained  his  warmth, energy and his humour, symbolised for me the tenor of things to come.  The force of his arguments standing strong on the clarity of his thinking, opened windows for me even when I disagreed. So farewell it has to be Amit! But your spirit will live on -  in us, in the movement....  Privileged we were, amidst whom you walked...

My deep condolences to Amit's family at this difficult time. I mourn the loss of a friend and colleague, a kind, generous and wise man, always so engaged for the health people. I learned a lot from Amit and he was an example to me, how to be committed to public health and how to still be practicing medicine next to all the things he did. We met last in 2017 but I particularly remember when I visited Delhi with my daughter in 2012 and he generously took us around and we had good conversations. Rest in peace my friend.

Ravi Ram

We all share the shock of losing such a vibrant mind and caring soul. Amit was driven by so many things -passion, intellect, science, justice - with a single goal of helping others who are less fortunate. There are so many ways to remember Amit, and his contributions in writings, organization, motivation are a legacy for all of us. What I'll remember most is our last conversation, in Delhi after PHA4, when he was thoroughly relaxed and feeling at ease. It was just a few days after he contributed his own magic to the assembly, and he was ready for more. Then, it was easier for him to be personable and he made several humorous cracks about himself. His humility and self-reflection were always apparent, and the warmth of his personality showed through. Even after giving his all for others, he wasn't lacking for energy. My thoughts are with his wife and son, who also sacrificed much so that Amit could pursue his calling. May they find some peace in knowing that Amit touched so many of us, and continues to inspire us toward the cause that he cherished.

Amit was one of the first persons of PHM I met, this during the World Health Watch in Geneva. I remember to be stressed to end up in a overly serious group. But talking to Amit reassured me. His intelligence, humour, dedication and warm personality were illustrative for this whole movement. His way of presenting made you want to cheer after every sentence. I did not had the chance to talk to Amit during the People's Health Assembly, and wanted to send him a thank you mail after. So my sincere gratitude via this way, Amit, for all the communications, mails, patience for what resulted to be an amazing Assembly. My thoughts go to his family, friends and all the people who had the joy to work closely with Amit. His quote 'optimism is an act of resistance' remains my guidance and will so even more after yesterday.

Dear Friends It's still a shock because we were together very recently in Bangladesh. However I am grateful to have known Amit and always admired his level of knowledge and organisational abilities. I learnt a lot from him and also got a chance to taste his chicken curry in Switzerland which he prepared for the Watchers. He will be greatly missed and am challenged to do more in the struggle for health. Hamba Kahle (Go well) Amit.

Dear Friends I, like so many, am consumed with grief at the untimely loss of Amit. Having worked very closely with him over many years and especially in the past several months around and at PHA4, I can only echo what many others have said in their tributes. He was, indeed, exceptional: acutely intelligent, exceptionally strategic and focused, passionately committed and hard-working, humble and always with humour. His death is a huge blow to family, friends, comrades and the global movement for health for all. We have to now take up the struggle against health inequity and its sources even more concertedly. Amit would have wanted that. I will be with you in spirit tomorrow morning at the cremation. Please pass on my sincere condolences to Tripta and Arijit. In solidarity.

The dead are not dead: PHM West & Central Africa’s Tribute to Amit! PHM West & Central Africa (PHM WCA) is bitterly sad after the premature departure of PHM Global's Associate Coordinator, Dr. Amit SenGupta, founding member of PHM Global and of the Indian section. This sudden, terrible and tragic death surprised us all because we had just finished the fourth edition of the People's Health Assembly, commonly known as the PHA4. That's why, the announcement of his death was first taken by some as a bad joke before invading, like a trail of powder, PHM networks, health movements and more globally all progressive movements. He was very active from the planning of sessions to the self-organized workshops to PHA4 thematic groups. His contribution to the realization of this important event, which took place in Bangladesh a few days ago, is immeasurable. Amit is a freedom activist, a tireless advocate for marginalized people. PHM West and Central Africa (PHM WCA) salutes his memory, while seizing this opportunity to reiterate our commitment to continue the fight for health for all, together with other regions. Our thoughts are with his family, PHM and all of the progressive movements. In Africa, one says that the dead are not dead. One says that the dead are present though invisible. Amit is not dead! He is in our lips that will denounce repressions of liberties! He is in the crowd shouting '' health for all, now ''! He is there in our arms rising up and asking for justice! Amit one day, Amit forever! PHM West & Central Africa

Amit un jour, Amit toujours : Hommage de PHM West & Central Africa People’s Health Movement Afrique de l’Ouest & Centre (PHM WCA) a appris avec amertume le départ prématuré du Coordonnateur associé de PHM Global, le docteur Amit SenGupta, membre fondateur de PHM Global et de la section indienne. Ce décès soudain, terrible et tragique nous a d’autant tous surpris que nous venions à peine de clore la quatrième édition de l’Assemblée Populaire de la santé communément appelée la PHA4. C’est pourquoi, l’annonce de son décès à d’abord été pris par certains comme une blague de mauvais goût avant que, comme une trainée de poudre, la nouvelle n’envahisse les réseaux de PHM, des mouvements de santé et plus globalement tous les mouvements progressistes. Il était à l’œuvre entre le programme des sessions, les ateliers auto-organisés et les groupes thématiques de la PHA4. Sa contribution à la réalisation de cet évènement important, qui s’est déroulé au Bangladesh il y a quelques jours, est incommensurable. Amit est un combattant des libertés, un militant infatigable de la cause des gens marginalisés. PHM Afrique de l’Ouest et Centre (PHM WCA) salue sa mémoire, tout en saisissant cette occasion pour réitérer son engagement à continuer la lutte pour la santé pour tous, ensemble avec les autres régions. Nos pensées vont à sa famille, à PHM et à l’ensemble des mouvements progressistes. En Afrique, on dit que les morts ne sont pas morts. On raconte qu’ils sont présents même invisibles. Amit n’est pas mort ! Il est dans nos lèvres qui dénonceront les répressions des libertés ! Il est dans la foule qui crie ‘’santé pour tous, maintenant’’ ! Il est là dans nos bras qui se lèvent et qui demandent justice ! PHM Afrique de l’Ouest& Centre

I first met Amit at a meeting about access to medicines in Istanbul four years ago and was immediately impressed by not just his knowledge, but the way he was able to make it accessible when teaching and sharing with others. I am amazed that he had time to do all the work he did. But it is a testament to his commitment to justice that he wanted to take on so much to make the greatest impact. The global movement for health in the service of the public good has lost a giant.

Just earlier today I had been preparing an invitation asking him to speak at an international event on access to medicines for NCDs. His recent report on biologics was sitting on my desk. Its difficult to believe the great mind that produced this work is no longer with us. His expertise, depth and breadth of knowledge, warm heart, tireless work ethic, mentorship and unflagging dedication to public health and social justice will all be sorely missed. He was and is an example for many of us, and we will sorely miss him especially at the next WHO EB in January.

Personally I will miss the twinkling eyes and the friend that he had become.

Terrible news Dr Amit Sengupta of AIPSN, PHA and friends and comrades in many struggles together passed away in Goa today. He was on holiday there.

The first time I met Amit was in Geneva, as an attendee of the WHO watch. With his typically kind and patient mentorship he removed all our rose tinted glasses and imbued us with a nuanced view of not only the agenda items up for discussion but also of the immensely complex global health landscape. Since then I have met Amit at meetings on access to medicines and never ceased to be amazed by his ability to marry deep knowledge and understanding of the issues with the heart of an activist. His good mood was infectious and somehow he never grew tired of answering my many questions. Thank you for your mentorship Amit, you will be sorely missed.

Very very sad news…the demise of Dr. Amit Sengupta. The health movement, especially in India and the global south, has lost one of it's finest minds and strongest voices. During this sad time remembering fondly his friendly demeanour, love for jokes and proactiveness in mentoring us young ones. Though i am still reeling with the shock of his sudden passing, I know that people like Amit Sengupta don't disappear with death. His views, his thoughts, his ideals will live on in those whom he inspired and that which he started! Zindabad!

Dr. Amit Sengupta's untimely death is an irreparable loss to the public health movement in India and the world. I have been honoured to have learnt from him ever since I entered the field of access to medicines in 2005 as a reasercher with an NGO in Delhi. His dry wit, ever smiles my demeanour, and the ability to speak truth to power has always left a deep impression on many. We hope we can draw strength from his life and continue on the path that he has shown us.

Amit was truly the magic - the glue - the very solidarity in our movement. We are all gutted by this loss of someone who found a way to make all of us feel at home, all of us feel like we belonged and were part of something bigger than ourselves. Amit was ever encouraging, ever your confidante and mentor and I say this, knowing him only for a few years. I cannot fathom the pain that others may be feeling and am led by Amit's example when I extend my deep sympathies and affection to you all. As Leon relates, Amit was always a schoolboy - in his wonderment, his acuity, his humour, his compassion, and his belief in a better future. We all have so much more to learn from him: his example, his work, his thoughtfulness, his passion. And so much more to do - in honour of all that he has done for us with ceaseless, infectious optimism. You are ever loved, Amit.

My first encounter with Dr. Amit sengupta was PHA3 when I sent him a presentation, he then adviced me not to make it too academic and break it down in simple words. Secondly Dr. Amit and I were roommates in this year's WHA watch period, he was a down to earth guy, he would cook meals and make breakfast, he made alot of jokes, made me feel at home and shared with me alot from his resourceful mind, I asked him at one point why he smoked too much and he's reply was " I have lived most of my life, the remaining is short so don't worry young man". My last encounter with him was at PHA4, I ran into him as I was coming out of interview room and he gave me a pat at the back and said " now run fast into any ongoing session of your interest", away from that he's presentation on the opening day was one of my take aways. Rest in peace Dr. Amit sengupta and thank you for sharing part of your life with us.

How cruel can life be? Only a week ago, we were sitting together after the 4th People’s Health Assembly in Bangladesh with the Steering Council and were planning the future work of the PHM. Now we will never here his voice, his wit, his humor, his anger about the unjustice and the Status quo of this world again. His voice was clearly heard in the global arena of health politics, when he warned WHO of the increasing influence by the big philanthrocapitalist foundations and criticized the damaging results for health of Free Trade Agreements and the power and actions of Transnational Companies. Medico international profited from his knowledge, his public presence and narrative skills many times at events in Germany or at the Geneva Global Health Hub in Switzerland, we discussed with him in Frankfurt funding strategies for the PHM in a world where critical voices of the civil society are increasingly under pressure and donors are looking towards “quick impacts” rather than sustained structures in advocacy and campaigning. We discussed and celebrated with him at the meetings of the People’s Health Movement. His death is a great loss for the progressive health movement in India and globally. We grieve with his family, friends and comrades for a powerful voice for the Health Rights for all people.

I first got to know Amit about 16 years ago, and there is much I could say about Amit's many qualities and attributes. But those that stand out for me include his special brand of quiet and gentle determination and strength of conviction. He was generous with his time and energy, and principled in how he worked with colleagues and comrades. It is wonderful to see Amit continue to inspire and encourage us all post-humously through the many tributes that have been written in response to his sudden and shocking death. May his legacy live on for many, many years to come.

Dr. Amit was a real leader, comrade and activist in PHM. We had wonderful time together for a week during IPHU at Kathmandu in 2016 where he had left us all spell bound with his in-depth knowledge and wisdom and his humane and humble character. We would feel invigorated with each of his deliberations. PHM and the world have lost a true comrade and leader in the global movement to make the world more pro-people. May his soul Rest in Eternal peace. It's time for us all left behind to reconfirm our commitments to the cause Dr. Amit has long fought for!!! Adieu! Lal Salam Comrade!!!

The leave of Amit left me sad. I met him only once in South Africa in 2014 at the Global Symposium on HSR. My encounter with him had a great footprint on my soul. He is simple, genuine and sharp and his commitment to social justice and health equity is unquestionable. Our souls unite during our activism and rest. Rest in Peace.

Dear Amit You have been a comrade, friend and shining light. Your commitment to PHM and health justice has been totally unwavering. You brought intelligence, commitment and passion to the struggle for health. Those of us left behind will struggle to fill your shoes but in your memory we will make sure that generations to come will be inspired by your work, your legacy and the many lessons you have given to so many of us in PHM. Your life on earth has ended far, far too soon - at PHA4 you saw the magic in the air and I promise to keep working to keep the PHM magic alive and so inspire our movement to achieve the fair and healthy world you devoted your life to achieving. It is unbeliveable you won't be with us at our next PHM meeting - I feel so sad and empty thinking of my loss of your friendship. Please go in peace and the knowledge that you have been a massive force for good in our troubled world. With love Fran
