|
| Why: |
Training in human rights for health professionals has increasingly
been identified as a critical need for the health sector. This is
particularly the case in light of the findings of the Truth Commission that
highlighted the role played by training institutions in human rights
abuses under apartheid. Recently, professional councils have begun to focus
on the extent and quality of teaching in human rights, ethics
and law to students in the health professions and have recommended
guidelines for the core competencies that would be expected of graduates in
these areas. |

- Recognise the importance of self-study and reflection on the past to plan for the future
