Student Work

Students in Making Rights Real: The Ghana Project work closely with Professor Lucie White and Ghanian organizations that focus on the human rights dimensions of Ghana's health policies and practices.  The partnership between the Project and its Ghanaian affiliates on the Right to Health began in 2000.
