Right to health
The
right to health
is the
economic, social and cultural right
to a universal minimum standard of
health
to which all individuals are entitled. The concept of a right to health has been enumerated in international agreements which include the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
,
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
and the
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
. However, there remains some international variation in the interpretation and application of the right to health due to considerations such as how health is defined, what minimum entitlements are encompassed in a right to health, and which institutions are responsible for ensuring a right to health.
