Status of health care services within the public policy framework
According to International Human rights laws to which most countries are signatories, health is a human right ( ICESCR, CEDAW, CRC),and countries have to make provisions for the fulfillment of these rights. Some countries like South Africa have included health as a fundamental right within their constitution. As a part of the policy review it necessary to understand what is the status of health care within the nation public policy framework. Is it a fundamental right or an entitlement? What are the different policies around health care in the country? Is there any provision within public policy for special consideration for marginalized people or special population groups and their health care? Is it equal right for all? What are policy provisions/ laws for case of violation of health care in the country?
