RIGHT TO HEALTH IN INDIA

As there is no law available in India about Health Right and no expressed provision in Constitution, which deals with or expressly talk about the Health Rights in India (except Rajasthan Right to Health Care Act, 2023) , the implied responsibility of State and Judiciary to recognize and protect Human Rights of Citizens have been increased. Through Judicial Activism, Court have been dealt with numerous cases by expanding horizons of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and gave so many directions to State to protect the Health Rights. State as well have taken steps to lessen the plight of citizens in health area by adhering to International Treaties. The role of UN (United Nation) and its branch (i.e. WHO – World Health Organization) to guide member state cannot be neglected. The multidimensional and interdisciplinary character of health rights has made the legislative process in India complex and time-consuming. As this research is doctrinal one, the data collected through secondary sources. The researcher wants to trace out the intertwined relationship between WHO and Health Rights of the Indians. Due to lack of expressed provisions in India, the work of WHO is of extra importance.
