Public Health Global Conference

Human rights in health enshrines the proposition that everyone has the right provided in the constitution to health care and conditions dangerous to his or her well-being. As an established human right, the right to health enshrines the principles of fairness and former discrimination as far as means and quality of existing healthcare delivery systems are concerned so that, any given person irrespective of his/her status in society is given equal quality healthcare services.

An important focus area of human rights in health is health equity and it is the idea to remove unjust differences between populations achieving healthcare and its related goals. S risks might result from conditions such as poorness, gender, ethnicity, or disability that influence people’s healthcare needs. Public health programs that aim at human rights in health endeavor to eradicate such hurdles by promoting equipments of efficient health policies and guaranteeing that narrow society receives necessary healthcare services.

This paper presents a synthesis of patient rights as well as ethical practices concerning the delivery of healthcare and health all over the world. Confidentiality is an important universal principle, each patient has a right to consent to and receive health care without being compelled. These rights improve the relationship between healthcare service providers and customers as well as reduce discrimination for minority groups like the physically and mentally challenged, and the queer, migrant clients.

This paper further assesses whether catastrophic health events make it imperative to protect human rights in health. In any pandemic situation and further emergencies, it is possible to have equal access to the necessary medical resources and effective treatments while, at the same time, preserving personal freedom as a priority. Policies must respect public health and human rights, conformity, rationality, and equality, to avoid infringement of the rights of the people.

As health is adopted as an inalienable Human Right, public health interventions work towards a progressive social justice in health in an effort towards shaping health and wellbeing which is just and equitable for all, thereby enhancing the health of the people.
