The last fifteen years have seen a tremendous growth in the
number of health rights cases focusing on issues such as access to
health services and essential medications. This volume examines the
potential of litigation as a strategy to advance the right to
health by holding governments accountable for these obligations. It
includes case studies from Costa Rica, South Africa, India, Brazil,
Argentina and Colombia, as well as chapters that address
cross-cutting themes.
The authors analyze what types of services and interventions
have been the subject of successful litigation and what remedies
have been ordered by courts. Different chapters address the
systemic impact of health litigation efforts, taking into account
who benefits both directly and indirectly--and what the overall
impacts on health equity are.
