Working to secure the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples

Minorities and indigenous peoples are among the most marginalized in terms of access to social and economic rights, and this is especially the case with health care. Our latest report uses the availability, affordability, accessibility, adequacy and appropriateness framework to assess health services available to minority and indigenous communities in Egypt, Iraq and Tunisia.
