Salzburg Seminar: Law and Health Practitioner Guides
| Location: | Salzburg, Austria |
| Event Date: | February 10, 2008 - February 15, 2008 |
OSI's Law and Health Initiative (LAHI) organized its second annual Salzburg Law and Health Seminar in February 2008. The seminar centered around the development of Practitioner Guides in Law and Health and a companion website for lawyers interested in taking patient rights cases. These will be practical, how-to guides covering both litigation and alternative mechanisms, such as ombudspersons, with chapters on patient and provider rights and responsibilities and procedural mechanisms at national, regional, and international levels. LAHI, public health, and rule of law coordinators from Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, and Ukraine attended the Seminar, along with representatives from an interdisciplinary team of experts working on the guides in each of these countries.
