⛑️WHAT IS THE RIGHT TO HEALTH?👩‍⚕️

🌳🌾🌼Rural communities in India suffer from a significant lack of access to healthcare🏥.🛌 This lack of access results in high rates of maternal mortality🤰, infant mortality👶, and malnutrition🚶, as well as low life expectancy and low vaccination rates.
👉The WHO Constitution (1946) envisages “the highest attainable standard of health as a fundamental right of every human being .”
👉Fundamental Rights: Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees a fundamental right to life & personal liberty. The right to health is inherent to a life with dignity.
👉DPSP: Articles 38, 39, 42, 43, & 47 put the obligation on the state in order to ensure the effective realization of the right to health.
🚩landmark judgment in Parmanand Katara Vs Union of India (1989), 👩‍⚖️Supreme Court had ruled that every doctor whether at a government hospital or otherwise has the professional obligation to extend his services with due expertise for protecting life.
