Abstract
Health is a fundamental marker of human advancement. In India, the right to health and medical care has been recognised as a basic right from the early times and it’s the State’s obligation to provide it. With the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic, just like any other developing nations, India is back in square one with collapsing health care system and a mounting number of positive patients. The population of the country, mutation of the virus and inaccessibility to selected areas pose as a major barrier for the health care workers to provide relief to the innocent residents. The article aims to discuss the right to health as a fundamental right provided in the constitution and its implementation. Health and human wellbeing have been regarded as the basic right of human beings under international covenants although we see its gross violation in various countries and various instances.
