Abstract
I HAVE CHOOSEN the title "Health: A Human Right" because it
seems to offer me many approaches to the subject of man and his
health, a subject which has occupied almost all my adult life. It is the
field in which I have spent all my working years, approaching the
objective of providing health care for people from many angles.
Perhaps the diversity of those angles is enough indication that the
successes I have had are less than satisfying. But the challenge and
the excitement of the chase have been rewarding, and no failure, so
far, has been so devastating that it has forced me to give up. I think it
is fitting that I try to share with you, at this time in my career, some
of the thoughts, some of the questions and some of the frustrations
that I have lived with for well over forty years, in one form or another.
