This text aims to present a humane approach to the issues of health rights, recognizing they are embedded in an interpersonal web of privileges and obligations understandable in particular socio-economic and cultural contexts. It reflects the author's experience, and is aimed at policy makers as well as those concerned with human rights in general, scientists, practitioners, students of medicine, public health and other health professions, especially those whose interests cross national and cultural boundaries.
