The O’Neill Institute’s Center for Health and Human Rights at Georgetown Law, in collaboration with Ríos Strategic Lawyering for Social Justice, recently hosted the second annual Judicial Dialogues on Health and the Law in Latin America and the Caribbean. This pivotal event brought together high court justices from various countries to engage in meaningful discussions surrounding the intersection of health and legal frameworks in the region.

During the dialogues, participants explored critical issues such as access to healthcare, the role of judicial systems in promoting health rights, and the impact of legal decisions on public health policies. The event aimed to foster a collaborative environment where legal professionals could share insights and best practices to enhance health outcomes through judicial action.

The gathering highlighted the importance of judicial engagement in addressing health disparities and ensuring that legal systems support the right to health for all individuals. By facilitating these discussions, the O’Neill Institute and Ríos are contributing to a more equitable health landscape across Latin America and the Caribbean.
