  title = {Realizing the Right to Health of People Living with Podoconiosis},
  abstract = {<p>Podoconiosis is endemic non-filarial elephantiasis which affects people who walk<br />
barefoot on irritant clay soils for many years. A significant number of people are living with<br />
the disease in Ethiopia and other parts of the world. Despite the disease being a cause and<br />
consequence of illness and poverty, little attention was given to the disease from the right to<br />
health angle in Ethiopia. Although the Constitution of Ethiopia does not explicitly recognize<br />
the right to health, Ethiopia has ratified international and regional human rights instruments<br />
which guarantee the right to health as a fundamental human right. In particular, this article<br />
explores gaps in implementation of the right to health of people living with podoconiosis<br />
based on lessons from field observation.</p>
