Presentation given by Dearbhal Murphy, policy officer in the FEANTSA secretariat, at a FEANTSA conference on "The Right to Health is a Human Right: Ensuring Access to Health for People who are Homeless", 2006
What does the right to health entail?
When we talk about the right to health we are not just talking about the physical or mental well-being of a person. The right to health involves many other things without which you cannot enjoy good health. The most authoritative interpretation of the right to health is outlined in Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and has been ratified by Namibia and many other countries.

Healthcare is a major part of every country's development platform. By healthcare we are in fact protecting the most important driver of development. Healthcare systems are primarily safe guarding the development core engine and are the best means of sustainable development.
Overview:
Why is the integration of family planning (FP) and HIV/AIDS services important and how does it relate to the right to health?
What models of service integration are currently being implemented in Kenya?
What are the successes, outcomes and lessons learned from clients and providers in Kenya?
What can you do to advocate for the integration of FP and HIV/AIDS services and halt the feminization of AIDS?
Disclaimer: While this presentation focuses specifically on the integration of family planning services and HIV/AIDS testing and counseling services, it is important to note that this is just one example that falls within a more comprehensive approach to service integration. To address the AIDS epidemic, health systems must integrate HIV/AIDS services for prevention, care and treatment with non-HIV services such as primary care, maternal and child health, and reproductive health services, including family planning. Additionally, HIV/AIDS services should be connected to social and community-based services that address underlying determinants for health such as poverty, unemployment and legal inequalities.
The Learning Network pamphlets have been developed using principles of popular education and are suited for use by academia and community organisations' with other members of civil society. A series of 7 pamphlets exploring different aspects of the Right to Health. These pamphlets are available in three languages: English, Xhosa and Afrikaans.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

"The Right to Health is a Human Right: Ensuring Access to Health for People who are Homeless"
1. The Right to Health is a Human Right: Ensuring
access to Health for people who are Homeless
FEANTSA ANNUAL THEME
2006
2. Why Health?
« Processes of extreme exclusion can reveal the
shortcomings of any system, including a
healthcare system. »
Health has a role to play in understanding and
communicating about homelessness.
Health is a crucial factor in being able to access
and maintain employment and housing.
Health policy and health care systems have a
place and role in homelessness strategies.
3. The Annual Theme
A detailed questionnaire was drawn up by
FEANTSA’s international expert group on
health
The Adminstrative council member in each
country coordinated the drafting of a national
report – available on FEANTSA’s website and on
the conference CDs
The European report was drawn up on this
basis, drawing together the commonalities,
highlighting shared problems and different
approaches and solutions.
4. The Right to Health for people
who are homeless
The right to health – our starting point is that
health is a human right. People who are
homeless have the right to the highest attainable
standard of health and to a life in dignity.
The health of many people experiencing
homelessness is a damning indictment of the
commitment of States to uphold the right to
health of their citizens.
This right to health is the vital baseline to the
discussion on entitlements to healthcare and on
access to good health. It is both the basis for
action and the final aim.
5. The European Report - Findings
Health Profiles of People who are homeless
Entitlements to healthcare
Barriers to accessing healthcare
Efforts to overcome the barriers
Access to quality healthcare
Training to meet the needs of people who are
homeless
Networking and interagency working
Data collection on the health situation of people
who are homeless.
6. Health Profiles of People experiencing
Homelessness
Physical health problems and substance abuse
Mental health and dual diagnosis
Multiple needs: a challenge to the medical
model
Treatment problems associatedwith the
situation of homelessness
- Assumption of « self-care »,
- Previous negative experiences of the
healthcare system,
- Competing needs,
- Difficulties recognising the need for care
7. Entitlements to healthcare
Health and social protection systems in Europe
have made provisions for vulnerable groups to
access care at minimal or no cost
BUT these provisions do not translate into real
access to quality care.
Non-nationals in an irregular situation:
particularly problematic – emergency care only
Evolution of the healthcare system:
Negative impact of cost-cutting reforms
Move from public provision to private sector can be
a problematic one for people who are homeless.
8. Barriers to Care
Administrative and Financial barriers are very
commonly cited.
Even a small charge upfront can be a significant
barrier
Administrative procedures are complicated and
difficult
« The gap between homeless and hospital life »
Inflexible appointment systems, difficulties adapting
to hospital environment, cultural or linguistic
barriers, etc.
9. Efforts to overcome these
barriers
Special low-threshold and outreach health
services
Mediating role of homelssness services
Flexible approach to administrative
requirements (such as local residency)
Special public health insurance packages
to do away with the need to pay upfront
and await reimbursement
10. Access to quality healthcare
Specialist care for people who are homeless –
can be tailored to their needs – BUT: specialist
Vs mainstream debate.
Homeless services – often coordinate the
provision of certain health services
Breakdowns:
Mental health care and dental care hard to access
Breakdown of care at the recuperative stage
Provision of care in rural areas remains problematic
in many countries.
11. Conclusions
People who are homeless do not enjoy
their right to health – States need to adopt
a proactive stance in light of their
vulnerability
There is knowledge and experience in the
service provider sector that can facilitate
States in their work in this area
Ensuring access to health is a vital part of
a strategy on homelessness
