Health: A business or a universal right
Keywords:
health, humanity, law, sustainabilityAbstract
Health is an essential component of human well-being and a fundamental right that must be accessible to everyone, regardless of their origin or social condition. It is recognized as a universal human right, as stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. of the United Nations. However, in recent decades, and fundamentally in the stage of the Covid 19 pandemic, it can be seen how it has transformed into a multi-billion-dollar global industry, generating a clear intersection between the right to health and the health economy as a business. The objective is to demonstrate that health is understood as a universal right and this idea must be an awareness fundamentally among people linked to this sector that is so necessary for humanity. The bibliographic review and the historical-logical and dialectical method were used as methodology, allowing us to understand reality through critically analyzing current perceptions. The result was that strategies must be drawn up to ensure that health is a right for everyone without considering race, color, or religion that all humans have the right to health, and that it is sustainable.
