4th IFP Essay Competition "Right to Healthcare" launched

ELSA International within the International Focus Programme on Health Law launches the 4th Essay Competition "Right to Health Care".

The right to health care has been generally accepted as a fundamental human right, though merely a social right and therefore not legally enforceable in court. Nonetheless, some legal systems recognise the justiciability of the right to health. This has created opportunities to individual patients claiming healthcare access. As a link between state and citizens, it rising up the question: how will healthcare claims affect healthcare system?

To present vision of the law students in Europe, ELSA International launched the 4^th IFP Essay Competition: “Right to Healthcare”.

 

The IFP Essay Competition is organised annually by ELSA International in line with the International Focus Programme (IFP) and its 7^th topic focusing on Health Law.
