Perspectives On Health And Human Rights A Reader

Promoting and protecting human rights is fundamental to promoting and protecting health. Both those in public health and human rights need to understand that discrimination and other violations of human rights directly determine health and well-being, and that they must deal directly with the underlying social issues that largely determine who lives and who dies. New issues covered in this volume include: * emerging technologies * family and health * responding to violence * methods and strategies.Gruskin, Sofia is the author of 'Perspectives On Health And Human Rights A Reader', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415948074 and ISBN 041594807X.
