Dear Friends, The Centre for Constitutional Rights is organizing the 5th lecture in the Disability Rights lecture series on ‘The Right to health of persons with disabilities’. Our resource person for this lecture is David Werner. David is an author and health activist, is co-founder and director of HealthWrights (Workgroup for People's Health and Rights) and for years was a visiting professor at Boston University’s International School of Public Health. A biologist and educator by training, he has worked for more than 50 years in village health care, community-based rehabilitation, and Child-to-Child health initiatives in the global south, mainly Mexico. From 1965 intothey 90s he was a facilitator and adviser to Project Piaxtla, a pioneering villager-run health program which contributed to the early conceptualization and evolution of Primary Health Care (PHC). Out of Piaxtla grew PROJIMO, an innovative Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) program organized and run by disabled youth of Western Mexico. David, who has a physical disability himself (Charot-Marie-Tooth syndrom), is still active in this program, as well as in a sister program that designs and constructs personalized children's wheelchairs at low cost. More recently he helped start and advises Habilítate Mazatlán, a service program for disabled children run and staffed by disabled recovering drug users. David has kindly agreed to deliver this lecture at 5 pm (India time) on 10th March which coincides to 3.30 am in the morning in California where he is based. . We request you to please attend this lecture on 10 March which is being organized virtually and the link for the lecture shall be sent to you shortly.
