Do other countries recognize healthcare as a basic human right?
Healthcare is recognized as a human right in most countries around the globe. The United States is the only “industrialized” country that doesn’t provide healthcare as a right to every resident from cradle to grave. Countries across Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East recognize that every citizen has the right to reach the highest attainable standard of health, has a right to appropriate treatment and to live without fear of getting sick. Humane countries recognize that in order to have a productive, happy society they must provide their citizens with the basic right to health.
