Health rights

Health rights refer to the entitlements individuals have regarding their health care. These include the right to access necessary medical services, receive quality care, make informed decisions about treatment, and maintain privacy and confidentiality regarding health information. Health rights also emphasize the importance of equality, meaning everyone should have fair access to health services regardless of their background. Additionally, individuals are entitled to participate in health-related decisions that affect them and to be informed about their options. These rights aim to ensure that health care systems serve the needs of all people effectively and respectfully.
