Abstract

Seventy-five community members from five regions of the country are now performing as right to health community defenders. As part of their tasks, they carry out vigilance of local health facilities, and also collect audiovisual evidence of right to health violations that are later presented to authorities. This poster links to a regularly updated noticeboard, which logs new reports of violations. There is a need to verify and backup the complaints that users of healthcare facilities have about violations to their rights. At community level assemblies, leaders are selected for training on proper collection of audiovisual evidence.
