Item An argument for a liberal public health: reflections on a discipline in flux after COVID-19 (The Daniel W. Foster, M.D., Visiting Lectureship in Medical Ethics)(2022-10-11) Galea, SandroHealth has been in the spotlight in an unprecedented fashion during the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is no question that much that was done during the pandemic saved lives, it is also the case that the pandemic should be cause for reflection about what we did not do as well as we should have. How should we rethink what we do and how we do it in health in the aftermath of COVID-19? What are the key takeaways from the pandemic that can make for better efforts towards the health of populations?Item How the health and rights framework evolved and how that affects clinical research(2020-01-14) Inrig, StephenWhile the World Health Organization's (WHO) constitution defined "the highest attainable standard of health" as "a fundamental right of every human being" as early as 1946, it was not until the late 1980s, amidst the AIDS pandemic, that WHO representatives developed the "Health and Human Rights Framework" as a lens through which to understand and address inequalities in the global burden of disease. While the concept itself met with broad and rapid approval, several factors made it difficult to operationalize in health delivery. Beginning in the early 2000s, however, practitioners have made important strides in operationalizing these concepts in ways that have positively influenced local and global health delivery. This talk explores the development of "health and human rights" concepts over time, giving particular attention to the implications they have on drug research, clinical research ethics, the pharmaceutical industry, and the right to access medicines.
