Abstract: (279 Views)
The right to health is among the fundamental human rights and has always been emphasized in Islam. It guarantees access to the highest level of physical and mental health for every individual. This means that every person is entitled to benefit from medical services, public health, adequate food, proper housing, and a healthy work environment, and this is given special support in human rights documents and social security laws. Iran's social security system, consisting of both insurance and support sectors, provides extensive medical and healthcare services. Fair and affordable access to these services, especially for vulnerable groups, is essential. Promoting social health requires providing basic prerequisites such as education, housing, food, and employment. Although social security laws emphasize the right to health, challenges such as resource shortages and limited access to quality services hinder the full realization of this right. On the other hand, government institutions are obligated to provide healthcare and protect public health in accordance with national and international laws. Therefore, fully realizing this right requires identifying challenges and offering solutions to improve the social security and healthcare system. These solutions may include increasing access to education, achieving equity in resource distribution, and improving environmental conditions.
