Deep dives

Healthcare as a Human Right

Healthcare is defined as a fundamental human right, emphasizing that everyone, regardless of body size or health status, deserves equitable access to care. This perspective challenges the prevailing notion that care should be contingent on an individual's health status or physical appearance. The discussion highlights the need for healthcare providers to acknowledge and dismantle systemic biases that often deny care to larger-bodied individuals. By affirming this principle, advocates strive to foster a healthcare environment where all individuals feel deserving of support and treatment.
