[Editorial] Law: an underused tool to improve health and wellbeing for all

One of the most potent tools to advance health and wellbeing and enshrine the right to health in local, regional, national, and international policies has not yet gained sufficient attention in global health discussions. A new report, released on Jan 16, Advancing the right to health: The vital role of law, aims to fill this gap. The report, a collaboration between WHO, the International Development Law Organization, the University of Sydney, Australia, and the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, USA, tackles this vast topic in three parts: advancing the right to health through law reform; the process of public health law reform; and priorities for public health law reform.
