The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in multiple public health interventions, aimed at preventing the spread of the disease and protecting the greater population health and life. These interventions have led many to question the age old saying: “do the rights of the few out weigh the rights of the many?”
The right to access to health services, equal access to treatment, the right to access health information, and the right to be treated for diseases other than COVID-19 have been some of the most difficult decisions during the pandemic.
Are these decisions violating human rights as entrenched in our Constitution? Make sure to register for the webinar to learn more.
Join us as we unpack these serious issues affecting our health and the lives of those around us.
