She will address the question: Is health truly a human right in Canada? And if so, what does this mean at a time when both health care and human rights are in crisis?\nDr. Lisa Forman is a Professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and cross-appointed Professor at the Jackman Faculty of Law at the University of Toronto.

She has published widely on related topics including access to medicines, trade-related intellectual property rights, universal health coverage, global health policy, and pandemic governance.\nThe lecture is organized by the Atlantic Human Rights Centre. The Atlantic Human Rights Centre promotes and develops multidisciplinary teaching and research in human rights at the local, regional, national, and international level. The Centre has collaborated with various scholars, activists, and organizations to foster meaningful dialogue on human-rights-related topics since 1989. ENDS\n
