Strategic Reflection Guides (SRG):• Why do poor individuals and families continue to be
denied their right to healthcare in your country/region? • How then can we as people of faith (Anglicans)
accompany these families to attain better health?• What mechanisms are there for strengthening health
partnerships? • What is God calling us to do for the hurting communities? • What resources is there within and outside for us to do
that which we feel called to do? • Where shall we start from and when?

Workshop QuestionsConsidering the 7 proposed pillars for action:
• Which of these is the Alliance best placed to take forward given its niche within the Communion and globally?
• Which of these is the Asia region best placed to implement? (it may not all or any of these pillars)
• What is it that we want to around health in promoting global learning (south – to- south)? Are there best practices or health models that have worked and need to be shared?
• What implementation approaches should we take; do we want integrate, mainstream of have a stand-alone health agenda?
• The answers to these questions will enable the Alliance to develop a strategic framework and policy that will guide our intended health priority and mission to the poor.
