"Human Rights, Health and the Medical Profession in the Twenty-First Century: Human Rights as a Bedrock for Patient Care"
 
Lecturer – Tracy Robinson
Snr. Lecturer in Law, Faculty of Law, Mona
 
Abstract
The medical profession already has a strong ethical framework that guides its operation. So the lecture asks the question, why are human rights important as a way of understanding patient care? This is an even more pointed question given the contested nature of human rights in the Caribbean.
