Synopsis

This book deals with various facets of the human right to health: its normative profile as a universal right, current political and legal conflicts and contextualized implementation in different healthcare systems. The authors come from different countries and disciplines - law, political science, ethics, medicine etc. - and bring together a broad variety of academic and practical perspectives. The volume contains selected contributions of the international conference 'The Right to Health - an Empty Promise' held in September 2015 in Berlin and organized by the Emerging Field Initiative Project 'Human Rights in Healthcare' (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg).
