Health and Human Rights

Health and Human Rights in the context of Global Health refers to the understanding that everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of health, which includes access to healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, and a healthy environment. This principle recognizes that health is not just a medical issue but is deeply connected to social, economic, and political factors. Protecting and promoting health requires respecting and fulfilling individuals' rights, ensuring equality, and addressing issues like discrimination and poverty. Ultimately, safeguarding health as a human right aims to create fair and just conditions globally for all people.
