Right to Health

The Right to Health is a fundamental human right that ensures everyone has access to the healthcare services they need to maintain good health. This includes access to medical treatment, health facilities, and essential medicines, as well as the underlying determinants of health, such as clean water, nutrition, and a safe environment. It emphasizes that governments have a responsibility to create policies and allocate resources to promote health equity and protect the health of all citizens, particularly the most vulnerable. This right is recognized in various international agreements and is a cornerstone of public health and social justice.
