In this talk at TEDxLSHTM, Medact Trustee Sridhar Venkatapuram argues that every human being has a human right to the capability to be healthy. He takes us through the first principles required for health to be a human right: a shift to thinking about health as a capability and a recognition that health and health inequalities are questions of social justice.
Medact's work is carried out by staff, volunteers, members and in collaboration with a wide network of partner organisations and individuals.
