Right to health
The Ministry of Health reports verbatim that: ” The expression” right to health “summarizes a plurality of rights such as the right to psycho-physical integrity and the right to a healthy environment , the right to obtain health services , free treatment for destitute as well as the right not to receive health services , other than those required by law, to protect the public interest of the community as well as the person of the recipient “.
In Italy, the protection of health as a fundamental right of the individual and collective interest is contemplated by article 32 of the Constitution , with respect for the dignity and freedom of the human person, through the National Health Service . Established in 1978, the Italian SSN has a universalistic and solidarity character, that is, providing health care to all citizens regardless of gender, residence, age, income and work .
What does Article 32 say? ” The Republic protects health as a fundamental right of the individual and in the interest of the community and guarantees free medical care to the indigent “.
