Abstract This presentation is an introduction to strategic litigation for public health professionals. It will review the opportunities offered by legal action on environmental issues, with examples from past successes. It will consider opportunities in Europe for legal action in both national courts and in international courts and tribunals. Procedural issues affecting the choice of forum will be discussed, such as ‘standing' (the right to initiate a legal action or participate in the proceedings), admissible evidence, the possible orders available if the case is successful, and the costs and risks involved. What if we don't win? Was it still worth it? Broader public engagement and advocacy opportunities will be noted.

ResumenNos proponemos reflexionar acerca de la relación entre dos principios bioéticos fundamentales en el ejercicio del derecho a la salud: el principio de autonomí­a y el de vulnerabilidad, en el marco de cambios legales en salud ocurridos en las últimas décadas en Argentina. El respeto a la vulnerabilidad comienza a consolidarse no sólo como el reconocimiento al principio más esencial de la Bioética sino como la base de toda la ética. La vulnerabilidad de individuos y poblaciones requiere una concepción de autonomí­a que implique en sí­ misma la inclusión. Se presentan algunas reflexiones y resultados de un proyecto de investigación realizado en 2018-2019 desde la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, que analiza este tema a partir de la percepción de los profesionales de la salud pública en el Partido de General Pueyrredón, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Palabras clave: autonomí­a, vulnerabilidad, bioética, leyes en salud, derecho a la salud. AbstractWe propose to reflect on the relationship between two fundamental bioethical principles in the exercise of the right to health: the principle of autonomy and that of vulnerability, within the framework of legal changes in health that have occurred in recent decades in Argentina. Respect for vulnerability begins to consolidate not only as recognition of the most essential principle of Bioethics but as the basis of all ethics. The vulnerability of individuals and populations requires a conception of autonomy that implies inclusion in itself. Some reflections and results of a research project carried out in 2018-2019 from the National University of Mar del Plata are presented, which analyzes this topic from the perception of public health professionals in the Party of General Pueyrredón, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.Keywords: autonomy, vulnerability, bioethics, health laws, right to health.  [1] Lic. en Antropologí­a.

Abstract. Law No. 36 of 2014 is a comprehensive law for health professionals. In that regulation, all health graduates that wish to practice their trade must have a letter of registration (STR). That policy also separated environmental health from public health. This was the reason why we decided to evaluate the policy that is related to public health professionals. This evaluation was a retrospective analysis that used in-depth interviews and literary research, respectively as primary and secondary data. From this research we discovered that public health graduates is has their own profession. And to obtain the right to practice their trade, they must pass the competence standard test. However, according to other regulations, only vocational or professional education graduates can participate in the test. Since there currently are no professional education institutions available for public health professionals, Minister of Health Regulation No. 41/2013 takes over. According to this law, all public health graduates will be provided an STR until there is a professional education institution. We also discovered that environmental health should NOT be separated from public health, since it is a large part of it. And therefore, the law must be amended. Abstrak. Undang-undang (UU) No. 36 Tahun 2014 mengatur tenaga kesehatan secara komprehensif. Dalam UU tersebut, semua tenaga kesehatan yang berpraktek wajib memiliki surat tanda registrasi (STR). Kebijakan juga telah memisahkan kesehatan lingkungan dari kesehatan masyarakat (kesmas). Oleh karena itu peneliti tertarik untuk melakukan evaluasi kebijakan khususnya terhadap konten kebijakan yang berhubungan dengan tenaga kesmas. Evaluasi isi kebijakan ini dilakukan dengan analisis retrospektif yang menggunakan wawancara mendalam dan telaah literatur sebagai data primer dan sekunder. Dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa tenaga kesehatan masyarakat layak disebut sebagai sebuah profesi. Untuk mendapatkan STR, tenaga kesmas harus lulus ujian kompetensi. Tetapi, menurut peraturan yang berlaku, yang dapat mengikuti ujian kompetensi adalah lulusan pendidikan vokasi atau profesi. Namun, karena belum adanya pendidikan profesi untuk tenaga kesmas, maka untuk sementara Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 41 Tahun 2013 digunakan sebagai solusi. Dimana semua lulusan institusi kesmas akan mendapatkan STR hingga terdapat institusi pendidikan yang menyelenggarakan pendidikan profesi. Selain itu ditemukan bahwa kesling sebenarnya merupakan bagian yang penting dari kesmas, baik dalam literatur maupun pendapat para ahli. Sehingga sebaiknya dilakukan revisi atau amandemen untuk UU tersebut.
