RIGHT TO HEALTH UNDER CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

As we all know that our Constitution of India is a mother of all statutes. Entire Nation is bound to follow the Constitution.Health is the most important factor in national development. It is a condition of a person’s physical and mental state and signifies freedom from any disease or pain. Right to health is a vital right without which none can exercise one’s basic human rights. The Government is under obligation to protect the health of the people because there is a close nexus between Health and the quality of life of a person. There are various provisions under the Constitution of India which deal with the Health of the Public at large. The founding fathers of the Indian Constitution rightly inserted Directive principles of State Policy (DPSP) with a view to protect the health of the public at large. Health is the most precious prerequisite for happiness.“Health care is not a privilege. It's right. It's a right as fundamental as civil rights. It's a right as fundamental as giving every child a chance to get a public education.
