PHA-Exchange> Pt's charter on TB (4)

from George Kent <kent at hawaii.edu> -----
    
I would like to ask for another line of discussion: why should there  
be a distinct charter for any particular disease? Are we to propose  
new charters for each particular disease? I could understand making a  
special effort to educate a group of interest (e.g., those concerned  
with TB, heart issues, cancer, etc.) to let them know how the general  
right to health affects them. One could also go beyond diseases, and  
talk about how the general rights apply to, say, orthopedic patients.  
However, at the moment I think it would be a strategic mistake to  
even suggest that any of these groups has special rights.

Why have a separate charter for any any particular ailment?
