“…Even the knowledge level of RDs in both future health professionals and physicians is very poor. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) tells us that health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being, which includes timely and affordable access to quality health care services (34); however, this is not reflected in patients with RDs because they must confront a utilitarian system with many difficulties, which have an impact on various areas of their lives. At a social level, due to the diversity of their condition, an individual patient with an RD experiences different disabilities, which often leads to exclusion with psychological implications.…”

rare diseases, orphan drugs, medical students, physicians, knowledge Rare diseases (RDs) affect up to 8% of the world's population, and unfortunately, health professionals have a low level of knowledge regarding the impacts of RDs on the social, psychological, and economic spheres of the patients and their families; hence, RD management is inadequate, consistently empirical, and precarious. The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge level of the medical students from a non-state university and physicians from Lima, Peru of RDs through a virtual survey for an analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 338 medical students and 382 physicians were surveyed. Results showed that several of the respondents (68.1% of students and 48.7% of physicians) had heard of the term "rare disease", but only a few stated that they had received any kind of training specific to it. Of the physicians, 46.6% considered that there should be a course about RDs in medical curricula, and more than 60% considered RDs a public health problem. Most respondents prioritized the planning of a higher budget for common diseases and believe it is convenient to allocate a specific fund for RDs. More than half of the participants had a very poor knowledge level. Due to students and physicians' low level of general knowledge of RDs, it is important to raise awareness and improve their education about these pathologies because this will have beneficial effects for RD patient care.

“…This process of articulating non-Western formulations of the values reflected in the various human rights declarations and global health initiatives, has found precedence in some circles of cross-cultural philosophy, as in the works of Fan Ruiping ( 2016 ), Nie Jing-Bao ( 2007 ), Daniel F.C. Tsai ( 2005 , 2010 ), and Benedict Chan ( 2019a ; b ; 2014 ) with regard to the Confucian tradition and in Hughes ( 2007 ) from a Buddhist perspective and Sachedina ( 2007 ) for Islamic bioethics.…”

Avoiding Cultural Imperialism in the Human Right to Health

As political instruments, human rights can be challenged in two important ways: first, by undermining the claim to universality by appealing to a kind of cultural relativism, and second, by accusing human rights of unjustifiably imposing values that are not genuinely universal (which I dub the problem of parochialism). The human right to health is no exception. If a human right to health is to be a useful instrument in mobilizing action for global health justice, then we need to take seriously the ways that health intersects with culture. Universal applicability is essential to both the legitimacy and efficacy of human rights. But without cultural sensitivity, additional injustices and imperialistic harms may be perpetuated. There are two goals within this paper—(1) to show that cultural imperialism is a moral and practical hazard, both in general and for the human right to health in particular and (2) to articulate a way of thinking about the human right to health that can minimize these hazards and arm it with moral credibility and political weight.

Urban health and happiness in hutongs and highrises

Urban bodies are complex integrated adjustable systems (CIAS), in flexible interaction with their natural, cultural, economic and political biotopes. Small entangled communities such as hutongs, existing in China for over 1000 years, and modern high-rise apartment buildings to a different extent represent more or less healthy and stable communities, based on interpersonal and interfamilial interaction, trust and solidarity, shared interest and involvement in sports, arts, gardening, social and other activities. Urban and other communities are interconnected by common history, narratives and visions, religions and internet cyberspaces. Religions and new internet communities extend beyond the local communities of hutongs, apartment buildings, cities and businesses; they may support or threaten local urban community and coherence.
