Document Summary
Lecture 3 global health priorities chapter 2 part 5. Some rights (like the right to freedom of movement) are derogable and may be temporarily suspended during an outbreak. In any response, careful attention must be paid to protecting the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of affected persons. On any given day, nearly 10 million people across the globe are incarcerated, including more than 2. 2 million people in the usa and 1. 7 million in china. Incarceration may exacerbate existing health conditions and create new health problems. Prisoners are entitled to all fundamental human rights, and they have a right to be protected from medical neglect, starvation, abuse, forced medical experimentation, and other civil rights violations. Contracting potentially life-threatening infections is not part of any prisoner"s sentence, and it is considered unjust not to provide incarcerated people with medical and dental care, adequate nutrition, protection from infectious diseases, and safe conditions.
