Abstract

An individual's right to health is fundamental to a decent life, hence it is important to examine the several aspects that support this right from different perspectives. Furthermore, since modern health care includes a larger social component in addition to an individualistic demand, this right must be examined in the context of the individual's personal and social life. Discrimination against members of society's most vulnerable groups women, children, the economically disadvantaged, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, including those who are mentally retarded means that people's right to health is violated. Additionally, this right is threatened by a number of other variables, including harmful working conditions and settings, natural disasters and wars, food and nutrition, housing and living situations, and forced population displacement. Therefore, in order to achieve the aim of "Health for All," this work advocated a right to health by assessing the impact of these several previously mentioned elements.
