“ The right to health is unquestionably part of international human rights law, but still […] many people do not grasp that it is a fundamental human right. They feel intuitively that the right to a fair trial and freedom of expression are human rights, but they do not instinctively regard the right to health as a human right. In other words, the right to health has not yet gained the same human rights currency as more established rights”    Paul Hunt, Former SR to Health
