Is Health Privacy A Human Right?

Understanding Privacy Privacy is about who gets access to personal information and under what circumstances. Privacy is recognized as a human right under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights , and several other regional and international treaties. Privacy is a fundamental aspect of human dignity and goes hand in hand with such basic values as freedom of speech and freedom of association. Humans have understood the value of privacy for thousands of years. People built homes as a way of marking out their private spaces. However, the coming of the Information Age has created a new and more complex context than in years past. Today, nearly every country recognizes the right to privacy in their constitution. At their bare minimum, such provisions include the secrecy of communication and the inviolability of the home. Importance of Health Privacy [caption id="attachment_13816" align="alignright" wi

Our health determines what is of us, and also what is to be of us physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and otherwise. The importance and relevance of our health brings us to the issue of whether or not we should invest in our health, and if we are to do; how can we go about, and what are the best possible ways to invest in our health.

HEALTH AND ITS GENERALITIES

To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. Buddha What is Health? Don’t be surprised if someone asked you what health is. The question you should ask yourself is; why should someone be interested in defining health; seeing that good health is the goal of research and healthcare, then it’s important to know what is it, how to maintain it, and how to measure it. The definition of health goes a long way in telling its importance in the life of every human; this is why the WHO proposed a new definition in 2009 as against the initial definition proposed in 1948 .

HEALTH CARE DELIVERY CHALLENGES SYNDROME

INTRODUCTION Health is a common theme in most cultures. In fact, all communities have their concepts of health , as part of their culture. Among definitions still used, probably the oldest is that health is the " absence of disease ". In this article more pain would be taken to discuss the challenges posed in delivering health care services, hence the topic “Health care delivery challenges syndrome” . DEFINITION The widely accepted definition of health is that given by the World Health Organization (WHO - 1948) in the preamble to its constitution is as follows: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity”. This WHO definition has been criticized as being too broad. Some argue that health cannot be defined as a “state” at all, but must be seen as a process of continuous adjustment to the changing demands of living and of the changing meanings we give to life. It is a dynamic concept. It helps people li
