Abstract
Health has been declared as the right of every human being. The World Health Organization has laid down in its constitution that health is a critical factor in the development of any country for two reasons. The first reason is that the health status which denotes lower mortality rates and higher life expectancy is the key indicator of a population’s welfare. The second reason is that it leads to greater economic productivity. It has also declared that enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being irrespective of his race, religion, political, economic and social conditions.
