Join North Highland Women’s Wellbeing Hub (NHWWH), Making Rights Real and the Scottish Women’s Convention for this online event.

Women in North Highlands have been raising significant concerns about lack of access to safe and accessible reproductive and maternity healthcare, since the downgrading of provision at Wick Hospital in 2016. A recent Scottish Human Rights Commission’s report found that “more than 14,000 patients per year now have to travel [to Inverness] for routine, emergent, and acute cases, with no risk assessments for patient safety.”*

Join us at this online event where we will

  • Hear from local campaigners about their fight for accessible healthcare
  • Learn about the human right to healthcare
  • Discuss how duty bearers can be held accountable
  • Discuss how can you support this campaign.

There will be time for questions and discussion about your own experiences and for questions.

This event has been organised by North Highland Women’s Wellbeing Hub (NHWWH), Making Rights Real and the Scottish Women’s Convention.

This event is open to all. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/healthcare-is-a-human-right-tickets-1152077036429?aff=oddtdtcreator
