How can human rights be respected and implemented in the healthcare sector? This volume, which has arisen out of the "Emerging Fields Initiative" research group and presents the results of a long-standing cooperation between experts, puts forward theoretical foundations for the right to health, and shows practical applications in both national and global contexts. In cooperation with authors from the fields of philosophy, medicine, ethics, law, and political science, and with the consideration of international perspectives - including the World Health Organization (WHO) - this volume discusses central questions at the intersection of human rights and medical ethics.
