Summary

Summary

This volume draws together significant articles addressing challenges of applying human rights to promote health in settings ranging from the local to the global. Essays explore determinants of ill-health, including poverty, gender, violence and stigma, examine ways of promoting self-determination in health, and show how courts have applied rights to improve access to health services.
