Judicialization Of Health

In this article, the right to health is discussed as a social right and an essential requisite in the construction and guarantee of human rights, more precisely human dignity, considering this right as a complex but effective process in the transformation of the social reality. In the first place, the activities of the public power and its difficulties to guarantee universal access to health are highlighted. This scenario ends up inhibiting the practice of the right to health and prevents users from enjoying and using it. In that sense, this article challenges and explores some alternatives to solidify and put in practice the right to health in Brazil. Departing from the analysis of the Unified Health System (SUS) and social participation in Brazil, this article discusses the judicialization of health in the country, highlighting the difficulties the State faces to equitably offer universal healthcare to society. This context offers an opportunity for reflection and a paradigm change, from the “judicialization of health” to the “judicialization of health policies.” Finally, the public health policies adopted by other countries are emphasized, in the attempt to construct the empowerment of human beings in the practice of their rights, particularly social participation and the discussion about the States’ responsibility to put their citizens’ right to health in practice. In conclusion, the political and collective construction of the right to health needs to be encouraged, distinguishing the legitimate interests of the different interlocutors involved.

The Right

This chapter explores the future of multilateral funding to realize the right to health by exploring two options: a single Global Fund for Health or international assistance for health through only bilateral arrangements. This analysis first examines a Global Fund for Health, based on Article 2(1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, guidance provided by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and features of the existing Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The chapter then examines the alternative option, comparing the likely qualities of both options in terms of being aligned with national priorities (if appropriately set), additional (i.e., incentivizing domestic mobilization of financial resources), reliable in the long run, coordinated, and sufficient. The chapter concludes by analyzing the political feasibility of both options.

Theoretical Reflection

This article is a theoretical reflection on the trajectory of the right to health and to the environment in the political Brazilian scenario and in the health sector. It aims to discuss the possibilities of these rights to be effectively guaranteed, out of the rhetorical sphere, in order to structure a fairer and healthier society. We observed that the Brazilian scenario evidences that the complex problems associated to the environmental and health injustices are materialized in social exclusion and environmental degradation, compromising these rights. We concluded that the assurance of these rights is linked to the possibilities of a collective achievement of the Brazilian society, to which Nursing can provide an important contribution.

The Right

The political importance of rights in liberal democracies, and of universally accessible health care in Canada, are trite observations. However, the increasing use of the language of rights to defend existing patterns of health care in Canada is a curious if not alarming phenomenon. What do citizens mean when they say that they have the right to health care? How can health care rights be defined philosophically and politically? This article examines the increasing popularity of rights claiming for health care, and argues that the ''right to health care'' has a non-possessive, normative nature that is at odds with legalistic individualistic rights claiming. This is a significant philosophical finding, one that informs the political debate over health care by revealing that legal rights claims are not sufficient to defend social entitlements. The conceptual project undertaken in this article illuminates directions of reform and suggests that differentiated citizenship provides a better model than legal rights to guide reform efforts.

The Right

The realization of the right to health can be achieved through several different approaches, for example; the establishment of health policies or the implementation of programs established by World Health Organization (WHO), or the adoption of legal instruments. This research is a doctrinal normative law research, that is by reviewing and analyzing library materials or secondary data that examines the values of justice through statutory approach. As a complement, this research also uses case approach, through field study. The discussion uses John Rawls's justice concept with fairness justice to analyze the findings of both research related to the findings of legislation and field findings, with the conclusion that justice based health law based on profession equality based on social justice is realized with health law that reflects the values of justice, the right of professional equality as well as the value of social justice with the concept of justice as a fairness as a capable concept to adapt, so it needs an adaptive health law approach.Keywords: Health Law, Profession Equality, Social Justice

ABSTRACT Objective: to discuss, taking for reference the crisis in Brazil and its impact on public health policies, the insertion of Brazilian nursing in that context and its ways of practicing the profession, based on the study about the politicality of care. Method: the reflection is divided into two topics, the first is about public policies, the Brazilian Unified Health System and the deconstruction of the right to health with neoliberal offensive; and the second is about the nursing political action in the fight for the right to health and for democracy. Final considerations: we emphasize that nursing must assume its sociopolitical role to contribute to the construction of a better and fairer Brazil, saying no to neoliberal reforms, as well as fighting for rights already acquired and for the resumption of the democratic stability in the country.

The right to health is widely recognized as basic human rights and consequently it is the state’s duty to guarantee its fulfilment.  The Indonesian government, in realization of this duty, develops and put in place a national health care (insurance) system, which successful working depend on citizens paying equal amount of the premium needed to sustain this public health care system.  However, the same state, in the context of social justice and welfare, provide poor citizens with monetary aid. This article discusses, by using a juridical normative approach, supplemented by an inter-multi disciplinary approach, the political dynamics underpinnings influencing the social or health care system’s implementation.

Desde la perspectiva de los derechos humanos se analizan las políticas públicas en salud, el cumplimiento efectivo del derecho a la salud por parte del Estado hacia las actuales condiciones de salud y el acceso a los servicios de salud de los pueblos originarios en las regiones Altos, Norte y Selva del estado de Chiapas. Frente al desdibujamiento del Estado y los magros resultados de las políticas públicas en salud, los pueblos indígenas se enfrentan cada día al intento de acceder a los servicios de salud, a la subordinación y discriminación, condicionados por su pertenencia cultural, lingüística o política. Este trabajo muestra la grave situación de salud que viven en la actualidad los pueblos originarios ante un sistema de salud cada vez más deficiente e ineficaz. Asimismo comenta las posibilidades de la existencia de mecanismos que hagan exigible y justiciable el derecho a la salud por parte de la población y del Estado, y las demandas y alternativas que se han escuchado desde los pueblos, particularmente en relación con la salud donde los derechos fundamentales para ser efectivos tienen que adquirir un sentido más operacional para la gente y cuyo reto es político.   SUMMARYPublic health policies and the effective fulfillment on the part of the State of the right to health are analyzed from the human rights perspective with respect to the current health conditions and access to health services of the native peoples in the High Plains, North, and Forest (Altos, Norte, and Selva) regions of the state of Chiapas. In the context of the fading State and the meager results of public health policies, the indigenous peoples in their attempts to access health services are faced with subordination and discrimination, conditioned by their cultural, linguistic or political identity. This work demonstrates the grave health situation lived today by the indigenous peoples in the context of an increasingly deficient and ineffective health system. The possibilities of existence of mechanisms to make the right to health demandable and legally enforceable by the population and the State are discussed, as well as the demands and alternatives heard from the indigenous peoples, in particular in relation to health, in which the fundamental rights, in order to be effective, must acquire a more operational meaning for people. The challenge is political.
