In his short address, Shri Ojesh Mutum said,“Right to Health is a part and parcel of Right to Life and therefore right to health is a fundamental right guaranteed to every citizen of India under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. We owe the recognition of this right to the fact that the Supreme Court of India, through a series of judicial precedents, logically extended its interpretation of the right to life to include right to health”.
“It is the duty of the State to care for the health of the public at large and the Manipur State Legal Services Authority (MASLSA) have, rightfully and proactively, taken seven steps and provided assistances to the people in need. Today’s programme is one such initiative”, he added.
As many as 35 senior citizens/ old aged persons received free medication and aid in the said camp. Distribution of pamphlets and poster campaign on free legal services were also carried out as part of the observation.
The theme for this year’s World Health Day is “Our Planet, Our Health". World Health Organization aims to focus global attention on the urgent actions needed to “keep humans and the planet healthy.”
