universal Health coverage priority setting and the human Right to Health
The Lancet, 2017Co-Authors: Benedict Rumbold, Octavio Luiz Motta Ferraz, Rachel Baker, Sarah Hawkes, Carleigh B Krubiner, Peter Littlejohns, Ole Frithjof Norheim, Tom Pegram, Sridhar VenkatapuramAbstract:As Health policy-makers around the world seek to make progress towards universal Health coverage they must navigate between two important ethical imperatives: to set national spending priorities fairly and efficiently; and to safeguard the Right to Health. These imperatives can conflict, leading some to conclude that Rights-based approaches present a disruptive influence on Health policy, hindering states’ efforts to set priorities fairly and efficiently. Here, we challenge this perception. We argue first that these points of tension stem largely from inadequate interpretations of the aims of priority setting as well as the Right to Health. We then discuss various ways in which the Right to Health complements traditional concerns of priority setting and vice versa. Finally, we set out a three-step process by which policy-makers may navigate the ethical and legal considerations at play.

review article the moral Right to Health a survey of available conceptions
Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, 2017Co-Authors: Benedict RumboldAbstract:In recent years, there has been increasing recognition of both the philosophical questions engendered by the idea of a human Right to Health and the potential of philosophical analysis to help in the formulation of better policy. In this article, I attempt to locate recent work on the moral Right to Health in a number of historically established conceptions, with the aim of providing a map of the conceptual landscape as to the claims expressed by such a Right.

what do core obligations under the Right to Health bring to universal Health coverage
Health and Human Rights, 2016Co-Authors: Lisa Forman, Claudia Beiersmann, Claire E Brolan, Martin Mckee, Rachel Hammonds, Gorik OomsAbstract:Can the Right to Health, and particularly the core obligations of states specified under this Right, assist in formulating and implementing universal Health coverage (UHC), now included in the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals? In this paper, we examine how core obligations under the Right to Health could lead to a version of UHC that is likely to advance equity and Rights. We first address the affinity between the Right to Health and UHC as evinced through changing definitions of UHC and the Health domains that UHC explicitly covers. We then engage with relevant interpretations of the Right to Health, including core obligations. We turn to analyze what core obligations might bring to UHC, particularly in defining what and who is covered. Finally, we acknowledge some of the risks associated with both UHC and core obligations and consider potential avenues for mitigating these risks.
