Prof. Brigit Toebes, Dr Marie Elske Gispen and Yi Zhang attended the 6th conference of the European Association of Health Law, which took place in Bergen (Norway) from 27-29 September 2017. The theme of this year's conference was 'Health rights regulation and the distribution of health care'.
In her keynote lecture Toebes talked about the role of human rights standards in the distribution of health law. Gispen presented her work on access to pain control and palliative care in Europe sharing findings of her previous qualitative study in Latvia; and Zhang introduced China’s new health care reform model - the ‘Sanming Model’- in improving access to health care from a human rights perspective.
The conference provided an excellent platform for discussing health law in Europe, and for building new partnerships in the field.
