Subject: HEN Seminar: Human rights, equity and health
Dear All,
The next HEN seminar is being organised by Debbie Fox, Jeanelle de Gruchy,
Eileen O'Keefe and Alex Scott-Samuel and will be on the subject of 'human
rights, equity and health' (see the draft programme below). The seminar will
be held at the LSE on March 28 next year, and there is no charge to attend.
If you wish to attend please contact my colleague Adam Oliver
[log in to unmask] as soon as possible (these things tend to fill up quite
quickly, so you'll need to respond reasonably soon if you do want to
attend).
Best wishes
