Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been at the O’Neill Institute for over four years, leading projects that apply international human rights law to public health—they have entailed a wide range of subject areas, including health rights litigation, infectious diseases, sexual and reproductive health, patient care, and global tobacco control. I have trained public health and medical officials from around the world on a number of legal issues, including human rights.
