The right to health is the economic, social, and cultural right to a universal minimum standard of health to which all individuals are entitled.[citation needed] The concept of a right to health has been enumerated in international agreements which include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. There is debate on the interpretation and application of the right to health due to considerations such as how health is defined, what minimum entitlements are encompassed in a right to health, and which institutions are responsible for ensuring a right to health.
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[1] measures the right to health for countries around the world, based on their level of income.[2]
