Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The right to health involves both freedoms and entitlements. The freedoms include the right to have control over one's own health and body as well as the right to be free from any non-consensual medical treatment and experimentation and the entitlements include the right to access to an equitable system of health protection. the right to health is interrelated with several human rights, such as those of food, housing, education and safe working conditions. This illustrates how various human rights are interrelated, apart from being indivisible and interdependent. Since health status reflects a wide range of socio-economic factors, the right to health is clearly linked to other basic rights such as civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights. - Reproduced.
