Document Summary

Question 3: discussion how the activity addresses theories, frameworks, issues taken up in the course and also include references from course materials. 2, discussion: this activity addresses readings (petchesky, 2003) there is a failure of states to carry out their commitments such as better social protection through social security programs, health and safety regulations, day cares centers and accessible health care. This is because the state is caught between the debt and global market then come to not take accountability in ensuring basic health services like in the case of the african country depicted by the it"s my life documentary. The state then sees privatization measures combined by vouchers (safety nets) as the best way to ensure human rights of universal access to basic health services. The free market systems are thus inherently opposing to health care as a human right, since human rights enforcement depends on reliable systems of public regulation and accountability.
