Description

HumanRightsThe Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated ethical challenges in relation to medicines (including vaccines and diagnostic testing) and other therapeutic goods being made available to the world’s population (including the elderly, children and indigenous populations) and the dichotomy between pharmaceutical companies making money in order to fund future innovation versus the poor being able to access live saving therapeutic goods. In addition, wealthy countries vs poorer nations. This session will discuss the ethical, legal and human rights issues and some of the lessons learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic.

This session will also discuss the disparities regarding the care of children – including parental rights regarding anti-vaccination during Covid-19 and how governments and the law in various countries have either supported or interfered with those rights.
