Everyone has the Right to Health - New Campaign
Mary Robinson and Paul Hunt have launched a Right to Health campaign, aimed to raise public awareness about what the right to health means in practice and how it can be progessively realised by governments.
Paul Hunt, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health, and Mary Robinson, president of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative, have reinforced that the human right to health is a legal right under international human rights law.
The statement can be found by following the web link.
