title: Human rights and health: a perspective from the developing world.
abstract: This paper considers the links between human rights abuses and problems faced by health workers who are required by oppressive regimes to participate in abuses but are also aware of the social and economic background to repression. The role of Western governments and human rights agencies in emphasizing the abuse of a few individuals rather than the wider suffering from oppression is criticized.
