Abstract

The right to health refers to everyone enjoying the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. This right is not new in that it was already mentioned as a fundamental right in the constitution of the WHO in 1946. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights also mentioned health as part of the right to an adequate standard of living (Article 25). The right to health was again recognized as a human right in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
