Abstract

Constitution of India is a holy book for the Indian citizens, which governed the relationship between the state and its citizens. To achieve the goals set out in the part III of the constitution, it confers certain rights upon the people, imposes duties upon the citizens, and issues certain directives to the state. The Right to health forms part of basic human right. There are various national and international declarations to the effect. 

The Supreme Court has asserted that in order to treat a right as fundamental right it is not necessary that it should be expressed in the constitution as a Fundamental Right to health is also one such rights. The Right to enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is enshrined in numerous international human rights treaties. If everyone has to be benefited by a particular medicine or operation then no one would die of disease.
