Good health is a basic human right. However, in a growing number of countries today, access to healthcare depends on socio-economic status. This is discriminatory and should not be the basis for access to good health.

Good health has long been considered as a measure to ensure a decent standard of living. Though all ordinary citizens have their own right to gain access to healthcare systems, which is a fundamental part of our human rights, socio-economic background acting as a preclusion to human autonomy of being given adequate medical care, is rife in multitude countries in recent years. From my perspective, it is vital that we should reserve this adverse growth; if not, insurmountable repercussions will inevitably arise.

The first and foremost for my standpoint is the higher mortality and morbidity rates among human beings especially, those in the most vulnerable and fragile position such as. Disadvantage and marginalization serve to ostracize certain populations in societies from enjoying good health, not only will those people be at greater risk from the health problems but also having a plethora of issues arising inextricably linked to the bereft of essential needs of every one’s quotidian life including abode and sustenance. For instance, many poverty-stricken victims are being denuded of being cured and be heaped insults on by paramedics when admitting to hospitals as they cannot foot the bills. These exigent plights should be addressed by implement free-of - charge healthcare programme. that people would recuperate from illness without worries.

Secondly, economic depression is a potential peril of overt or implicit discrimination in the delivery of health services. Whether a nation flourishes or not, it depends on loads of factors, whereas its human resource comes to the fore as an indispensable pillar of national progress. If the discriminatory group’s well-being is blatantly disregarded, such pattern replicated on a mass scale may take a staggering toll on output of labor force. Ergo, country’s desire to ascend to greater heights could be put behind. Take Covid-19 pandemic as an example, if we do not pay heed to a patient already contracting the lethally communicable disease, the case numbers could increase exponentially and trigger consequences inimical to community’s health as a whole. Therefore, a hefty amount of money should be allocated to medical apparatus, vaccination production, treatment and so forth.

In conclusion, for the above-stated rationales, I would affirm that every human being is entitled to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health conducive to living a life in dignity irrespective of their social or economic status. Unfortunately, though, the matter of creating the egalitarian society often receive scant discussion.
