Equity Unit Approach: An Enhanced Human Rights Collective Framework to Effectively Tackle Global Health Inequality

Countries of the global south suffer severe health challenges and poor quality of life as compared to the nations of the global north. This review aims to develop a strategy that should effectively address global health inequalities and inequities. Since the individualistic nature of human rights does not enforce the implementation of the rights to health for all, the synthesis of some previous human rights policies via analyzing their strengths and weaknesses on a ‘rights to development’ framework has birthed a new approach. This novel approach which has a participatory-collaborative politico-legal mechanism for horizontal accountability is the ‘Equity Unit Approach.’
