Nowhere is this more challenging ? and more important ? than within countries.? (from the Foreword by Paul Hunt) This interdisciplinary study analyses how the internationally guaranteed human ?right to health? is realized by States at a national level. It brings together scholars from more than ten different countries, each of them analyzing the right to health in his or her country or region. They all focus on particular themes that are important in their country, such as health inequalities, the Millennium Development Goals, or the privatization of healthcare. And despite the differences in context, lessons can be learned from the rich experiences of the others, to learn how different countries implement (or not) health-related rights. In this book scholars, practitioners and policy makers in the fields of human rights law, health law, public health and their intersections will find a rich source of information, giving a boost to the international debate on propagation and implementation of the universal Right to Health. 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aInternational law 606 $aPublic health 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aPublic International Law 606 $aPublic Health 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 14$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aPublic International Law. 615 24$aPublic Health. 676 $a340 676 $a341 676 $a341.48 676 $a613 702 $aToebes$b Brigit$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFerguson$b Rhonda$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMarkovic$b Milan M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNnamuchi$b Obiajulu$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484657703321 996 $aThe Right to Health$92846107 997 $aUNINA
