Deadly Delays; Systemic Injustice: A Case Study from Peru Alicia Ely Yamin, JD MPH Physicians for Human Rights

Peruvian Context 28 million population USD 2100 GDP per capita 24% population in extreme poverty 47% of population indigenous; disproportionately represented among rural poor. Maternal Mortality Ratio: 168 per 100,000 live births [Puno and Huancavelica: 361 and 302 per 100,000 respectively] 4.8% of budget spent on health (2006)

Evarista’s Story

What Does Human Rights Add? Three Delays Model (Maine et al, 1992) Health facilities, goods and services are to be available, accessible, acceptable and of adequate quality. (ESC Rights Committee, General Comment No.14, para 12)

Mechanism Lack of availability In making the decision to seek help Lack of accessibility (economic, physical, information, non-discriminatory basis) Lack of acceptability Lack of quality In making the decision to seek help In arriving to health facilities In receiving adequate treatment

In its General Comment No In its General Comment No.14, para 43, the ESC Rights Committee states that the provision of essential obstetric services constitutes a basic obligation on the part of State Parties. In its General Recommendation No. 24, “Women and Health,” Article 12(2), CEDAW advises States Parties to “ensure women’s right to safe motherhood and emergency obstetric services.”
