CÂTEVA ASPECTE CONCEPTUALE PRIVIND SĂNĂTATEA ŞI DREPTUL LA SĂNĂTATE CA FUNDAMENTE ALE SECURITĂŢII UMANE
SOME CONCEPTUAL ASPECTS CONCERNING THE HEALTH AND THE RIGHT TO HEALTH AS A FOUNDATION OF HUMAN SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Human rights, such as the right to life, the right to physical and mental integrity, the right to freedom, the right to health, are indispensable for the complete development of human personality. For this consideration, we will try to analyze some important and decisive realities for human existence - health and right to health as foundations of human security. This is a reality often disturbed either by incompetent public officials or by pursuing of purposes which have no relation to such a sensitive subject for the survival of human species. Except the Constitution, which claims and guarantees the right to health care, enforcing the state to take measures to ensure hygiene and public health, no other law under the fundamental law, particularly in health area, reaffirms and promotes the fundamental right to health. Our purpose is not to analyze the Romanian health system reform, but to submit to the demands that Romania is bounded to respect, following its international commitments, hoping that responsible reform authorities will take this standards into consideration in the future. Some conceptual clarifications on health have a great interest, becaure are crucial for the understanding of the right to health as foundation of the human security. Without the right to health the free development of human personality becomes an abstract issue. We strongly believe that the right to life, the right to physical and mental integrity and the right to health become by themselves the first foundations of a society based on safety, balance and respect for human beings; without them, any debate on human security and its purpose is pointless and meaningless.
