Surgery as a Human Right

Surgery as a human right means that everyone should have access to surgical care when needed, just like other essential health services. It recognizes that being able to undergo necessary surgery can prevent suffering, disability, or death, and is vital for overall health and well-being. Ensuring this right involves improving healthcare systems, training skilled professionals, and making surgical services affordable and accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status or location. Ultimately, it emphasizes that access to safe, timely surgery is a fundamental part of human dignity and healthcare entitlement.
