Las instituciones intergubernamentales emitieron declaraciones y tratados como un estándar común de logros para todos los pueblos y naciones, con el objetivo de proteger los derechos humanos, incluido el derecho a la salud. Sin embargo, la pobreza, que constituye el determinante social más importante de la salud, no ha sido reconocida como una violación de los derechos humanos. Este artículo argumentó que la pobreza y, por ende, la mala salud, surge de las desigualdades sociales y económicas, constituyendo una violación directa de los derechos humanos. Para ello, se examinaron los principales tratados de derechos humanos, como la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos (DUDH) y el Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales (ICESCR, por sus siglas en inglés) mientras se integró la bibliografía y estadísticas disponibles de artículos científicos y páginas web oficiales. La investigación mostró que las personas con escasos recursos económicos tienen menos probabilidades de acceder a servicios de salud y de participar en actividades educativas. También, el estudio indicó que uno de los principales factores que contribuyen a la pobreza son las reformas económicas impulsadas por multimillonarios y organizaciones supranacionales, las cuales, obstaculizan la promoción del bienestar común. Además, las decisiones políticas adoptadas por los países industrializados para promover conflictos armados en los países en vías de desarrollo, han hecho que la pobreza se arraigue aún más. Se concluyó que es necesario introducir reformas económicas y políticas que alivien la pobreza y disminuyan las desigualdades de ingresos, aún cuando estas vayan en contra del sistema económico. Palabras clave: derecho a la salud, derechos humanos, desigualdad económica, instituciones intergubernamentales, pobreza, Naciones Unidas. Abstract Intergovernmental institutions issued declarations and treaties as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. Those charters are aimed to protect human rights including the right to health. Yet, poverty, which constitutes the most important social determinant of health, is not recognized as a violation of human rights. This paper argues that poverty and, thereby, poor health emerge from income and social inequalities, which constitutes a direct violation of human rights. To that end, the study discusses major human rights declarations and treaties such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) while integrating the available literature and statistics from scientific articles and official webpages. This paper shows that poor individuals are less likely to access health services and to participate in educational, and recreational activities which constitute a direct threat towards the individual’s health. It also claims that a major contributor to poverty is the economic reforms lobbied by billionaires and supranational organizations which hinders the promotion and maintenance of the common well-being. In addition, the political decisions taken by industrialized countries to promote armed conflicts in developing states have caused poverty to develop even deeper roots in today’s international order. Therefore, there is a need for major economic and political reforms that relieves poverty and decreases inequality, even if it goes against the current economic system.  Keywords: economic inequality, human rights, intergovernmental institutions, poverty, right to health, United Nations.

The Right

For over two decades, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has taken a leading role in promoting human rights globally by building the capacity of people to claim their rights and governments to fulfill their obligations. This chapter examines the extent to which the right to health has evolved in the work of the OHCHR since 1994, drawing on archival records of OHCHR publications and initiatives, as well as interviews with OHCHR staff and external experts on the right to health. Analyzing this history, the chapter then points to factors that have facilitated or inhibited the mainstreaming of the right to health within the OHCHR, including (1) an increasing acceptance of economic and social rights as real human rights, (2) right-to-health champions among the leadership, (3) limited capacity and resources, and (4) challenges in moving beyond conceptualization to implementation of the right to health.

The Right

This chapter introduces the foundational importance of human rights for global health, providing a theoretical basis for the edited volume by laying out the role of human rights under international law as a normative basis for public health. By addressing public health harms as human rights violations, international law has offered global standards by which to frame government responsibilities and evaluate health practices, providing legal accountability in global health policy. The authors trace the historical foundations for understanding the development of human rights and the role of human rights in protecting and promoting health since the end of World War II and the birth of the United Nations. Examining the development of human rights under international law, the authors introduce the right to health as an encompassing right to health care and underlying determinants of health, exploring this right alongside other “health-related human rights.”

The Impact

The impact of coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) on medical education has been substantial. Medical students require considerable clinical exposure. However, due to the risk of COVID-19, the majority of medical schools globally have discontinued their normal activities. The strengths of virtual teaching now include a variety of web-based resources. New interactive forms of virtual teaching are being developed to enable students to interact with patients from their homes. Conversely, students have received decreased clinical training in certain medical and surgical specialities, which may, in turn, reduce their performance, confidence, and abilities as future physicians. We sought to analyze the effect of telemedicine on the quality of medical education in this new emerging era and highlight the benefits and drawbacks of web-based medical training in building up future physicians. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unparalleled challenge to medical schools, which are aiming to deliver quality education to students virtually, balancing between evidence-based and experience-based medicine.

Abstract Background To strengthen health systems, the shortage of physicians globally needs to be addressed. However, efforts to increase the numbers of physicians must be balanced with controls on medical education imparted and the professionalism of doctors licensed to practise medicine. Methods We conducted a multi-country comparison of mandatory regulations and voluntary guidelines to control standards for medical education, clinical training, licensing and re-licensing of doctors. We purposively selected seven case-study countries with differing health systems and income levels: Canada, China, India, Iran, Pakistan, UK and USA. Using an analytical framework to assess regulations at four sequential stages of the medical education to relicensing pathway, we extracted information from: systematically collected scientific and grey literature and online news articles, websites of regulatory bodies in study countries, and standardised input from researchers and medical professionals familiar with rules in the study countries. Results The strictest controls we identified to reduce variations in medical training, licensing and re-licensing of doctors between different medical colleges, and across different regions within a country, include: medical education delivery restricted to public sector institutions; uniform, national examinations for medical college admission and licensing; and standardised national requirements for relicensing linked to demonstration of competence. However, countries analysed used different combinations of controls, balancing the strictness of controls across the four stages. Conclusions While there is no gold standard model for medical education and practise regulation, examining the combinations of controls used in different countries enables identification of innovations and regulatory approaches to address specific contextual challenges, such as decentralisation of regulations to sub-national bodies or privatisation of medical education. Looking at the full continuum from medical education to licensing is valuable to understand how countries balance the strictness of controls at different stages. Further research is needed to understand how regulating authorities, policy-makers and medical associations can find the right balance of standardisation and context-based flexibility to produce well-rounded physicians.
