Article 51, paragraphs 1 and 2, states that healthcare and social insurance are regulated by law. Basic social insurance, which pertains to unemployment, illness, disability, and old age, is also governed by legal provisions. According to Article 3, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Law on Health Protection of the Republic of North Macedonia, everyone has the right to health protection and the obligation to take care of preserving and promoting health in accordance with the law, and no one dares to endanger the health of others.
