Health and Human Rights in 2010

Physicians for Human Rights is thrilled to invite you to: Physicians for Human Rights National Conference *Health and Human Rights in 2010*

Physicians, nurses and public health specialists in the U.S. and abroad face a daunting task: building, and often rebuilding, health systems that are accessible to all; fighting infectious pandemics like HIV/AIDS; preventing and treating disease; providing humanitarian relief to people facing natural or man-made disasters; and more.

The last 20 years have shown the world that brilliant bio-medical advances cannot alone bring health to the world's poorest people. Medicine must go hand-in-hand with human rights to eliminate health disparities and ensure a healthy population.

This year's Conference aims to change the paradigm of medicine to one which embraces human rights by empowering student leaders to introduce human rights into their school curriculum. The Conference is the first of its kind to solely focus on bringing students and faculty together to discuss how to integrate human rights into medical education. This jam-packed day serve as a springboard for future health and human rights initiatives and support students to make lasting change at their university and in their profession.
