    Study Notes

    Health as a Human Right

    • Highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental right for every human being, as asserted by WHO Director General Dr. Ghebreyesus in 2017.
    • United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) states that everyone has the right to an adequate standard of living, which includes health and necessary social services.
    • Health is essential for the enjoyment of other human rights and should be pursued through various methods, including health policies and programs developed by the WHO.

    Components of the Right to Health

    • Availability: Requires sufficient and operational public health services and products accessible to all.
    • Accessibility: Health facilities and services must be:
      • Non-discriminatory
      • Physically accessible
      • Economically accessible (affordable)
      • Information accessible
    • Acceptability: Health care services must respect medical ethics, be culturally appropriate, and gender-sensitive, ensuring the provision of person-centered care.
    • Quality: Health services and facilities must meet scientific and medical standards, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and integration.

    Health in the Philippines

    • The Department of Health (DOH) leads efforts to assure quality health care in the country.
    • DOH's vision aims for Filipinos to be among the healthiest in Southeast Asia by 2022, and in Asia by 2040.
