Abstract

It is important to guarantee the right to health because it is about our humanity and quality of life. However, with the diversity and problems in India, this right can be achieved but is not easy. This article examines the right to health in India. We will be looking at its history, current healthcare system, relevant laws related to this topic, and the many obstacles. It examines the social and economic factors, regional disparities, and systemic issues that impact healthcare access. Unlike many articles that only discuss the issues faced in implementing the right to health, this article also includes ideas on how to realize this right in India. It contains examples of best practices and initiatives that have a positive effect, including case studies. Through the article, the concept of health equity and human rights is presented with emphasis on the need for collaboration among policymakers, healthcare workers, civil society, and the community. This article ends with a plea for collective action to eliminate barriers and make quality health care available to all in India.
