RE: Why Health is Not a Human Right

in #health7 years ago

Hi @abigail-dantes

I think what you've pointed out is correct, and probably the point that makes this whole issue so complex. I tried to cover it in some of my closing comments

It cannot be applied to people who, due to a lack of education [] are incapable of taking responsibility for their own health.

I think the problem here is that so little emphasis is placed on health education, and policymakers are among those who don't understand the need to health education. It's an area that medical professionals really need to campaigning for!

Thanks so much for weighing in! :)
