Health for all people
For medicusmundi the right to health is an inclusive right
The right to health encompasses not only timely and appropriate health care, but also a wide range of socio-economic factors that promote the conditions under which people can lead healthy lives. We often associate the right to health with health care, but the right to health is more than the absence of disease; it is a healthy life in which the "underlying determinants of health" such as poverty, food and nutrition, adequate housing, access to safe water, working conditions, a healthy environment, health education and information, and gender equality play a central role.
