The Impact of Health Laws and Policies on Marginalized Communities

Abstract

International law has consistently upheld the importance of human health as a fundamental necessity. Public international law gives rise to the topic of international health law. Many human rights articles, accords, regional instruments, etc., declare this right to the best possible standard of health. The focus of international health law is on an individual's ability to function satisfactorily. It also suggests that in addition to ensuring access to healthcare services, attention should be paid to creating healthy environments, which includes safe drinking water, sanitary conditions, health-related details, education, safe and healthy work environments, and healthy living spaces. Due to its emphasis on the global protection of individual human health, the right to health is a fundamental human rights criterion in the field of international health law. This book emphasises the significance of health legislation and policies and the necessity of attempting to achieve health fairness.
