Content Overview
This course covers the theoretical framework, general concepts, and principles of human rights as well as their relationship to and impact within the health sector. The focus of this course is on a rights-based approach in achieving the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to “leave no one behind” with particular emphasis on health-related sustainable development goals (SDGs) and vulnerable populations. We will also look into how access to medicines can be improved worldwide, particularly for LMICs. The course will use case studies for the integration of a human rights-based approach into health policies. Course participants will also learn about advocating for the inclusion of human rights principles into the health sector and the roles state and non-state actors carry in terms of rights-holders and duty-bearers.
