- This monograph is the culmination of 15-years of research on right to health litigation. The author made extensive use of primary sources (legislative archives), collected and analysed empirical data on hundreds of thousands of cases of health litigation in Brazil from 2000-2019, and delved into literature from pharmaceutical medicine, public health, political sciences and theory and economics. The author also engaged with the literature and caselaw of over 20 jurisdictions in Europe, North and Latin America, Africa and Asia, carried out several fieldwork trips to Brazil involving tens of interviews with judges, public prosecutors, health officials and litigants.
