Public health law has been a subject of much controversy and
contestation especially since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. This
timely book inquires into the foundational principles of a form of
public health law which takes seriously the inherent dignity of the
human person. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, this
illuminating study makes the case that the rule of law, just as
much as population health, is an essential determinant of human
well-being. Choosing the case of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, where
life expectancy is among the highest in the world, yet whose
well-established rule of law tradition is oft-perceived to be under
strain, in describing the central dilemmas of public health law, it
makes an original contribution to our knowledge of comparative
public health law and public health ethics. Situating Hong Kong’s
public health law in the context of global health, The Law and
Regulation of Public Health should appeal across the world to
students and scholars of public health, medical law, public law,
comparative law, and international law. It accessibly explains the
law to epidemiologists and public health policy-makers, and public
health to jurists and legal practitioners. The book lucidly urges
professionals of public health and law to reflect on how the myriad
legal instruments and legal institutions should best to be used to
promote and protect public health in ways that are at once ethical
and lawful. It is a must read for anyone who is interested to gain
insights into public health law and regulation in this highly
internationalised Chinese Special Administrative Region.
