Zusammenfassung:Dissertation, University of Groningen
Health is indispensable for living a life of dignity. Currently, there is an almost universal commitment to the right to health (care). However, despite the growing legal recognition of this right, empirical evidence suggests that, as a whole, the implementation of the right to health (care) remains largely rhetorical at the domestic level. For example, although China ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 2001, relatively little attention has been paid to the domestic implementation of the right to health (care). Violations of this right were also identified in reality. Given that China?s health care reform is entering the so-called ?deep-water? zone, it is essential for the Chinese government to investigate how to guarantee everyone equal access to health care.00'Advancing the Right to Health Care in China' analyses the role of accountability, a Western concept that has recently been introduced to China, in advancing the right to health care in light of China?s unique political, legal and social background
