		On the other hand, gender-sensitive health care focuses on the power differential between women and men in terms of access to, participation in and control over their defining their health needs, and the services that are suited to their specific needs based on their sexual differences.
		Health is a development agenda, and the state of the economy which also reveals itself in the socio-political and cultural spheres of human life, is a key element in the promotion of a gender-sensitive and ethical healthcare system.

	Student Service Initiative (SSI) at the University of Witwatersrand (WITS) in South Africa
		In fact, we have felt that it is necessary for us as students to gain the skills and confidence needed in initiating and implementing a social and economic development project of our own as we are living in a country where such initiatives are crucial to the upliftment of society.
		It was difficult to get members from other disciplines within the health sciences to join, since our manpower was limited and there was no forum for us to address any large group of students at any one time.
		This proved to be very enlightening and we realised that we needed to be more detached from any set ideas we may have had in order to allow the group to undergo a natural process of development in which students would feel that the project was their own.

		Examples drawn from Peru suggest both challenges and possibilities for linking the health and human rights fields more systematically in a campaign for health as a basic question of social justice.
		Criteria that distinguish a human rights framework can be derived from an understanding of health as an issue of power relations as much as from biological or behavioral factors.
		The implementation of the right to health also raises challenges for human rights groups, requiring them to go beyond their traditional, adversarial role and to work in coalitions that include elements of the government.
