Human Rights Approach to Health

The Human Rights Approach to Health emphasizes that everyone deserves access to healthcare and a healthy environment, as it is a fundamental human right. This approach ensures that health services are available, accessible, acceptable, and of good quality for all individuals, without discrimination. It advocates for the protection of people’s health by addressing issues like poverty, inequality, and social injustices. By recognizing health as a human right, it empowers individuals and communities to demand their rights and hold governments accountable for providing adequate health care and resources necessary for a healthy life.
