SANABRIA-MOYANO, Jesús Eduardo; MERCHAN-LOPEZ, Cindy Tatiana  and  SAAVEDRA-AVILA, Mayra Alejandra. Standards of Protection of the Human Right to Health in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.132-148. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.3459.

The right to health has been the subject of analysis by the Inter-American Court of Human rights, through the contentious cases where it has interpreted its content and scope, by emitting different standards of protection, by means of a connection and interrelation of human rights to life in conditions of dignity, and personal integrity, which are contained in the American Convention on Human Rights. Similarly, it has also identified different conventional spaces derived from international obligations from States parties, as the guarantor of the State before the vulnerable groups, sexual and reproductive rights, and mental health.

Keywords : Human Right to Health; Inter-American Court of Human Rights; American Convention on Human Rights.
