Health advocates are increasingly arguing that there is a human right to health that must be respected by all governments. What, though, is the relationship between the right to health and the right to health-care? Critics of the human right to health have argued that it leads to uncoordinated and grossly inefficient health care allocation, and is generally captured by those who are already relatively advantaged. While there is evidence that the human right to health has been used in this way, Professor Jo Wolff from University College London, will argue that these practices are a distortion of the human right to health as it should be understood.
