Evaluation of the Health Sector Hearing: Conceptualising Human Rights and Reconciliation
As part of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), various sectoral hearings were held to highlight the role of these sectors in South Africa's past. The health sector hearing was one such example and has been hailed as an important step in the process of promoting reconciliation, transforming health services in South Africa and promoting a human rights culture among health professionals. While recognising some significant achievements by the TRC in this regard, this paper raises concerns about the way that the hearing (and the health sector in South Africa more generally) has conceptualised reconciliation and how it has approached the question of promoting human rights.
