Training & Consultancy
IFHHRO engages health workers in the realisation of health related human rights.
The right to health provides health workers with useful tools for promoting and protecting the rights and well-being of patients, as well as their own human rights. It is this message that IFHHRO wants to spread through the training of health workers in a rights based approach to health, and by providing information and building networks through which health workers will be mobilized to protect and promote the right to health in their daily work.
We have a vast expertise in training health workers. By using participatory methods we train health workers to use a human rights based approach to health in their own work.
For more information contact us by e-mail or telephone.
