Excerpt
FOREWORD The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. Yet millions of people have no access to health-care or even basic sanitation. Faced with this reality, people living in poverty often feel powerless. Unaware of their human rights, they are resigned to the fact that health services are too far away or cost too much. Those lucky enough to access health services are often treated badly. All this has to change. People need to be more aware of their rights so that they can take more control over their lives. Only then can effective action be generated to hold governments, and other powerful actors, accountable.
