Malaria

**Malaria And Rights To Health**


Key points in a right-based approach on health:

First of all, it's not a right to be healthy, but otherwise have the advantages of services facilities goods and conditions that can help promote the highest standard of health. More than 1 million people die from malaria each year, and it is a neglected disease of the poor.

The first key point is the right to health care- There are 3 subcategories to health care, these include accessibility, availability, and quality. To break it down further, this includes the right to access health facilities such as clinics and hospitals. It also meets the requirements of financial resources such as drug supplies, storage facilities, etc. []

The next key point is the right to general freedoms- Basically meaning everyone should have an equal opportunity to access anti malarial prevention methods. []

The third point is a right to an inclusive effective health system. For these rights, its consists of the right to information and education, the right to habitable housing, right to water and sanitation and the right to equal treatment.

The fourth element of the rights to health is active and informed participation of individuals and communities (Decision making that involves health, implementation on malaria control, and setting of local and international public health agendas so that health systems are in agreement with local priorities.)

The final point is a mix of research and development, the researchers are searching for a cure/vaccine for malaria and this can help in many ways. These findings could help put us one step ahead in the resistance process. [] **http://hart1f09.wikispaces.com/Timeline+%26+important+people+of+malaria**
