A goodie from 2008 to use in 2009!

Worth spending 20 minutes listening to this video on:
 
Right to Health and recommendations to strengthen WHO's Commission on
SDOH report
 
Paul Hunt
UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health (2002-2008)

http://www.csdhconference.org/watch.php?video=9
 
Key points:
 
Human rights approach adds a sense of LEGAL obligation to the report's
recommendations, reinforces accountability.
Health professional need to consider Human Rights and Human Rights
workers need to consider Health and SDOH.
Human rights is not an alternative approach but rather 100% consistent
with primary health care and SDOH movement.
Human rights approach brings useful frame of analysis as it adds a
political urgency to health inequities.
Human rights approach strenghthens the SDOH movement---use it as a tool!
