People's Health Movement (PHM) tribute: Dr Amit Sengupta
It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing away of our dear comrade Dr. Amit Sengupta, a beloved colleague, friend, mentor and activist.  Amit passed away on 28 November 2018, in a swimming accident in Goa, India.
Amit was a founding member of PHM at its creation in 2000 in Savar, Bangladesh.
Trained as a medical doctor, Amit dedicated his life to the struggle for universal access to health, and worked on issues related to public health, pharmaceuticals policy and intellectual property rights. He led several research projects in the area of public health and medicines policy, and was associated with several civil society platforms and networks, including the All India People’s Science Network. He was the Associate Global Coordinator of People’s Health Movement (PHM) and coordinated the editorial group of the Global Health Watch and the WHO Watch. He was the Co Convenor of Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (JSA), the Indian Chapter of PHM. He wrote regularly for journals and newspapers across India and the world.
Amit played a key role in the recently concluded People’s Health Assembly in Dhaka where more than 1400 people from around 73 countries came together to share their struggles and plan for coordinated action for health and social justice.
Amit brought his enormous political, organisational and leadership capacity to PHM. We were privileged to have him as a co-traveller. He leaves us a wonderful legacy: the magic of his life, his intelligence, warmth, honesty, joy, wry humour and his steadfast commitment to a just and equitable world.
The untimely demise of this special comrade and friend is an irreparable loss to all of us personally, Amit’s family and for the broader health movement globally and in India. We offer our condolences and solidarity to Amit’s wife Tripta and son Arijit.  PHM and JSA will continue to carry forward Amit’s vision of strengthening the public health movement towards health for all.
Thank you comrade Amit.
Adios, Red Salute, Laal salaam!
Long Live Amit Sengupta!

A Associação Brasileira de ONGs, reunida em Brasília essa semana para um encontro do seu conselho diretor, quer expressar a sua profunda tristeza com a partida do Amit Sengupta. Uma página da história do mundo e do FSM está virada. Amit teve uma contribuição incisiva e determinante para existência e construção do Fórum Social Mundial e destacou-se como uma pessoa excepcional, profundamente humana e fundamentalmente preocupada com a construção de um outro mundo, uma pessoa que contribuiu para o que somos, e principalmente para alimentar as nossas utopias. Expressamos os nossos sentimentos de tristeza e solidariedade para sua família, ao mesmo tempo que celebramos a sua vida. Obrigado, Amit, e adeus! Sua memória e o seu legado permanecem vivos!
