In Sujal’s Own Words

To provide comprehensive and culturally competent care.
To promote and protect human rights.
To avoid violating human rights.
Role of Health Professionals
Health professionals have an obligation:
To provide comprehensive and culturally competent care.
To promote and protect human rights.
To avoid violating human rights.
Students must be trained:
To understand the relationship between human rights and health.
To identify and respond to human rights violations.
HHR Education in the US
Gaining momentum over the last two decades, due in part to student advocacy.
Schools with HHR education are a minority. 32% of medical schools 54% of public health schools 22% of schools have a full HHR course
Significant variability in length, depth, size, and quality.
