Description


The constitution of WHO (1946) mentions "the highest attainable standard of health

as a fundamental right of every human being." Moreover, taking health as individual

rights or basic fundamental right makes it mandatory for a state to provide for this

fundamental necessity of having a decent and dignified life. One of the determinants

of health are ensuring access to timely, quality and affordable medical facilities. It

also includes access to safe drinking water, nutritious food, affordable housing,

sanitation, equal treatment of citizens regardless of their gender, caste, religion, race,

place of birth at cetera. Health is considered one of the most basic inessential

requirements of a happy life. If we are not healthy we will not be able to attend our

school, go to work, complete our family responsibilities or participate in any activity

related to community. People make sacrifices to guarantee healthy life to them and

their families. In fact health is one of the three key parameters of human development

index.
