dc.description.abstractThis report presents the findings of a survey of the work and experiences of parliamentary committees on health, and their understanding and engagement with human rights. The paper analyzes responses of parliamentarians and highlights the importance of building capacity for improved interpretation and use of rights-based analyses in their parliamentary roles. Relatively few respondents were explicit about rights-based considerations in their work. Stronger civil society engagement in health policy formulation and oversight of implementation is critical. Many countries in the region have signed international agreements that affect the right to health, with implications for legislative action.en
