        If health is a human right, then by definition (as per the WHO) human right seems a never achievable objective, particularly for us, Africans.

        I am truly sorry, but repeatedly asserting that ‘health is a human right’ doesn’t (legally or practically) provide quality care for even most of the world. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on realistic measures to provide basic, universal coverage instead?

        Do you mean like that time the States signed at the UN it is, and gave free health care to Iraq's new constitution, because it really is cheaper, but refuse to give it to their own American ppl?
