Dr Amber Dar assesses health justice partnerships from the viewpoint of family and children rights
The root of health problems faced by children and families can be linked to non-medical factors, such as the condition of housing in which they reside, or environmental factors. Non-medical issues can have a profound impact on an individual’s health, and potentially other members of a family unit. Therefore, health professionals alone are not equipped to ‘treat’ every facet of the problem they identify and diagnose. Recent examples can illustrate the range of problems and concerns for child health and wellbeing, including the cases of Awaab Ishaq, Ella Adoo Kissi Debrah, and Matthew Richards.
