“…It further adds, "Governments are responsible for health of their peoples" [22]. While ensuring that every individual is protected against ill-health and provided basic health services, the state also has to maintain facilities to take care of their health needs [23]. Healthcare provided should be accessible, affordable and of acceptable standards [10].…”

Background: Bangladesh has attained substantial progress in healthcare services and population health. This study examines the knowledge and awareness about the linkage between human rights and healthcare among patients, healthcare providers and members of civil society in Bangladesh. Methods: A questionnaire was distributed between May and August 2018 to 483 respondents among patients (health service users), providers, and other groups (includes members of civil society, politicians, social and religious elites, media personnel, and rights-based groups) in a regional area in Bangladesh. Of these participants, 58% were from urban areas and 42% from rural areas. As many as 78% were male and 22% female. A survey method and descriptive data analysis was performed to complete the study. Results: Participants in the study were aware and had knowledge about the linkage between human rights and health service provision, but they claimed the right to health has not been implemented in practice. The non-implementation of the right to healthcare is suggestive of a lack of political will, which negatively contributes to the social well-being of the larger population. It has undesirable effects on the development of the health system and the population’s health status. This reflects poor monitoring and performance of public institutions which has ramifications on the wider social parameters of social justice, equity, democratic values, transparency, and accountability. Conclusion: The development of population health is rooted in maintaining and promoting the right to healthcare. The ethical principle of human rights lies in the notions of human dignity, equity, equality, and social justice. The government should adhere to these values at societal levels and engage multiple stakeholders to promote the right to health for the benefit of a wider population.

“…Focalization policies proposed by the neoliberal development model, seeking to compensate individuals and human groups left aside by market competition, are part of this utilitarian theory of justice which aims to maximize welfare at the expense of these relegated individuals and human groups. 29 This highlights the complexity of WHO's concept of health inequity and some limitations of quantitative approaches. At the same time, it shows the importance of giving back to the patients' voices, since their experiences and lived experiences can help compensate for the complexities and limitations mentioned above.…”

Purpose This study aimed to understand the lived experiences of patients with cancer that facing inequities in oncological care in the city of Medellín. Patients and Methods A qualitative study was conducted based on the theoretical and methodological elements of the grounded theory, specifically the description and conceptual ordering of Corbin and Strauss. Sixteen patients with cancer, who belonged to low (n=5), middle (n=4) and high (n=7) social classes, were included by theoretical sampling with category saturation. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed in a category system based on the three social classes. Results The patients were aged between 23 and 71 years old, and they were diagnosed with different types of cancer such as breast, cervical, prostate, stomach, leukemia and lymphoma. Patients’ experiences showed that diagnosis, specialized care, treatment and hospital discharge were different based on their social class. Conclusion Patients’ lived experiences associated with cancer reflect complex social situations, in which social determinants affect the level of citizens’ empowerment and self-management against the risks of get disease and die. Being part of low and middle social classes meant being subjected to a dehumanized, cold, impersonal and discontinuous treatment, in which healthcare was focused on the disease instead of individuals’ preferences and values. In contrast, patients belonging to the high class had the resources necessary to face risks, which ensured access to more humanized and individualized healthcare.

“…Estas características ocasionan injusticia social al establecer condiciones de vida menos favorables para los indígenas mixtecos. La justicia social se entiende como la manera en que las instituciones distribuyen y posibilitan los derechos y deberes fundamentales para grupos sociales específicos, lo cual establece un punto de partida para los habitantes frente a diversos ámbitos (20), entre ellos, el de la salud.…”

En México habitan diversos grupos sociales, entre ellos se encuentra el pueblo indígena de los mixtecos, que en su mayoría se caracteriza por vivir en condiciones de extrema pobreza, situación que posibilita estados desfavorables de salud por las características sociales y físicas particulares. Además, estos grupos indígenas utilizan sistemas médicos propios, distintos al sistema biomédico. Cuando el Gobierno amplía su cobertura a estas comunidades se presentan dificultades debido a la incompatibilidad de sistemas médicos. Se ha observado que el uso de habilidades interculturales, tales como los componentes verbales valorativos y transcriptivos, favorece un ajuste entre los pacientes y los sistemas biomédicos de salud. Con el objetivo de revisar si los profesionales que prestan sus servicios a comunidades indígenas presentan habilidades interculturales, se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo, no experimental, y transversal para identificar el uso de componentes verbales interculturales por parte del equipo médico de la Unidad Médica Rural, ubicada en la comunidad de Dos Ríos, municipio de Cochoapa el Grande, Guerrero. Se observó la interacción equipo médico-paciente durante 6 meses, con un total de 103 consultas registradas. Asimismo, se contempló que los profesionales tienen un escaso uso de los componentes verbales interculturales y que no han incorporado estrategias que permitan el ajuste médico de los pacientes mixtecos al sistema biomédico. Los datos se analizan con relación a los aspectos bioéticos y de justicia social implicados en el comportamiento de las instituciones oficiales de salud.
