Abstract :

 The idea of Human Rights for a liberal natural rights theorist is that we all have rights by virtue of our humanity. 

Individuals have certain kinds of rights as member of a particular community, but human rights belong to humanity

Constitution of India. Of late, right to health and medical care has been interpreted to be part of right to life under Article 21 of the Indian 
Constitution. State is under an obligation to safeguard and preserve the right to life of every Citizen. It is the duty of the Government hospitals to 
provide medical assistance to a person in need. 
In the present paper the researcher has analyzing the Right to health and medical assistance as a basic Human Right with the help of National 
and International perspectives.
