El derecho a la salud obliga a los Estados a generar condiciones en las cuales todos puedan vivir lo más saludablemente posible. Esas condiciones comprenden la disponibilidad garantizada de servicios de salud, condiciones de trabajo saludables y seguras, vivienda adecuada y alimentos nutritivos. El derecho a la salud no se limita al derecho a estar sano.
El derecho a la salud está consagrado en numerosos tratados internacionales y regionales de derechos humanos y en las constituciones de países de todo el mundo.
The right to health is the economic, social and cultural right to the highest attainable standard of health. It is recognised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health, and wellbeing of himself and his family...". ThePreamble to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) constitution also declares that it is one of the fundamental rights of every human being to enjoy "the highest attainable standard of health". Inherent in the right to health is the right to the underlying conditions of health as well as medical care.
