Abstract

The right to „the highest level of health” means the right of each individual to health itself and includes, besides the health services provided by the health care system, the provission of essential conditions for a good health such as: clean water, adequate food, sanitation and shelter. This right includes the access to quality and affordable health services, as well as the acces to information on health issues. The public health care system represents the guarantee of the life quality and one of the most important political commitment the guvernors have to assume to ensure the high standards of the population they represent.
