Abstract:

Taking the most important supranational institution, the United Nations (UN), and its subordinate agency, the World Health Organization (WHO), as a reference, this article aims to analyze access to healthcare as a human right in international intergovernmental policies. Initially, the issue of health within the UN is discussed, highlighting the concept of global health; subsequently, the concept of global health is discussed considering health as a human right; then the debate coverage versus access to health as a human right is presented by addressing some of its ethical implications; thereafter, the debate coverage versus access to health is discussed, taking the constructivist and critic theories of International Relations as a reference. Finally, it is concluded that given the continued strong global inequality, WHO began to remodel itself, leaving behind the notion of health as a human right, and imposing the challenge of reducing the long distance between the reality and the international intergovernmental laws and policies.
