Healthcare: Right or Privilege

Following the footsteps of political philosophers Montesquieu and Rousseau who were of the view that man has equal rights, toppled the kingdoms, and created democratic system coherent with populace will. Human right is relatively a new term coined by UN charter. The term envisions rights as an integral part of human dignity which can affect the moral chastity. All aforementioned terms are associated with human being and are anthropocentric in their approach. Natural rights and rights of the man are deemed negative in their approach as they presents vague notion of natural law and overlooks chauvinism respectively. The term human rights has wide acceptance and is vigorously used by numerous rights theorists and philosophers. Health care is believed to be a right in some societies and is deemed as a privilege in others. The societies of the developing countries are facing the dilemma because of the inept resources, infrastructure and professionals. As Health comes after food and shelter, therefore prime objective is food and shelter. The developing countries are found to be reactive rather than proactive. They are spending more on the health problems originating as result of various other problems like sanitation and pollution. Poverty ridden states lack the ability to provide adequate health care facilities. Also, the lack of awareness and education level of individuals in developing countries adds to the burden.
