The editorial introduces the special issue of the journal that incorporates papers originally presented at the "Public Health and Human Rights" conference held at the Monash Prato Centre, Italy, in June 2007. It identifies the intersection between public health and human rights; access to health care services, particularly for marginalised groups such as indigenous peoples and persons with mental illnesses; and the role of international instruments in encouraging states parties to implement and monitor compliance with these rights.
这篇社论介绍了该期刊的特刊，其中收录了最初于2007年6月在意大利莫纳什普拉托中心举行的“公共卫生与人权”会议上发表的论文。它确定了公共卫生与人权的交叉点；获得医疗保健服务的机会，特别是对于土著人民和患有精神疾病的人等边缘化群体而言；以及国际文书在鼓励缔约国实施和监督这些权利的遵守情况方面的作用。
