11. Adolescents' Health Rights

Adolescents' health rights refer to the legal and ethical entitlements that young people have regarding their health and medical care. This includes the right to access healthcare services, obtain confidential advice, and make informed decisions about their treatment. These rights recognize that adolescents are capable of understanding their health needs and should have a say in their care. The aim is to promote their well-being, encourage responsible health choices, and ensure they receive appropriate support. These rights help protect adolescents from discrimination and ensure that their unique health needs are adequately addressed in legal frameworks.
