    It is our philosophy that health in its wider perspective includes an
    inseparable bio-psychosocial and political link that must be emphasized
    in the relationship between health and human rights.

Our hopes for peace, freedom, and democracy- hopes that all people and
societies share- lie in strengthening capacity-building, in a greater involvement
of people in embracing their own health related issues, building bridges for
peace through health and in the interdisciplinary skills to enable health
professionals to advocate, from within, effective and meaningful social,
economic and cultural link between health and human rights.
