\nHealth and well-being are deeply personal matters in one sense but there is a huge social purpose and significance in that. As human beings, our health and the health of those we care about is a matter of regular concern. Irrespective of our age, gender, socio-economic or ethnic background, our health is our most basic and essential asset. \n\nThe 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights also mentioned health as part of the right to an adequate standard of living (art. 25). The right to health was again recognized as a human right in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The Present book surveys, analyses and seeks to interpret the dynamic evolution and culmination of the debate on health in our country and also in a global sense. \n\nThrough a comprehensive analysis of all major developments in the health sector, the book attempts to track and decipher the domain of global health in as comprehensive a way as possible and presents theories, arguments, debates, statistics, and conventions. Also, the narrative raises relevant questions revolving around the current state of the human right to health and increases the reader's awareness of the necessity of realizing the human right to health in our world. With not one disease at the centre of the book, the reader gets a clear idea of the tremendous impact of this infectious disease on the progressive realization of the human right to health and its relevance in our time. It is argued that the economic and institutional barriers to the fulfilment of the human right to the highest attainable standard of health for all is a real challenge and there are immense potential benefits of investment in human health.
