The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Can Rights Cure? The Impact of Human Rights Litigation on South Africa's Health System by Marius Pieterse.

This book reflects upon the South African experience of judicially enforcing health-related constitutional rights. It attempts to understand the ways in which rights-based litigation has impacted on the operation and transformation of different features of the health system, including the formulation and implementation of health laws and policies, processes of health resource allocation and rationing, the regulation of health care delivery in the private sector, and the promotion and protection of public health.
