Poor health has consequences not only for women but also for their families. Women in poor health are more likely to give birth to low weight infants. They also are less likely to be able to provide food and adequate care for their children.
Each Sphere in the world is now gathering at least one human rights contract that deal with health-related rights. It comprises the right to health as well as other rights that relate to conditions necessary for health.
India has taken speedy steps in the health sector since Independence. We have a vast personal healthcare infrastructure. But serious health problems continue to take a large number of lives, babies continue to die needless deaths from diarrhea and respiratory virus and millions still do not have access to the most basic healthcare.
“There are many complaints of violation of human rights and Karnataka Human Rights Commission is not working at all and not even providing basic help to the poor,” said Dr Ida, medical practitioner and activist.
She also said that the health of Indian women is essentially related to their status in society. The contributions Indian women make to their families frequently are ignored and in its place they are looked at as economic burdens. There is a strong son preference in India, as sons are expected to care for parents as they grew old.
Poor health has consequences not only for women but also for their families. Women in poor health are more likely to give birth to low weight infants. They also are less likely to be able to provide food and adequate care for their children. Finally, a woman’s health affects the household economic well being, as a woman in poor health will be less productive in the labour force.
We exist in a globalise surroundings, characterised by increasing stress between our technological abilities and our social policies to meet the basic health needs. There are people in and around Bangalore who don’t have any place to survive.
Every woman, man, youth and child has the human right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, without bias. Indulgence of the human right to health is vital to all aspects of a person's life and well-being and is very important to the understanding of many other basic human rights and freedoms.
World Health Organisation is promoting and protecting health by fulfilling human rights. The violation of and lack of attention to human rights can have serious health consequences (eg, harmful traditional practices, slavery, torture and inhuman and degrading treatment, violence against women and children).
Health policies and programmes can promote or violate human rights in their design or implementation eg, freedom from discrimination, rights to participation, privacy and information.
According to the Anita Cheria, the director of Open Space, the non government organisation said that employees and contractors who are employed under government association are not getting enough funds to earn their livelihood. They live on the construction site in unhygienic conditions and also get diseases. The most common diseases are urinal infection because the government did not provide propr toilets to them and even if they are providing, there are 30 people for one toilet.
“The contractors pay the labourers just Rs 160 to the male and Rs 110 to the female, which is not at all sufficient to feed the whole family,” said Goirang, a labour from Orissa, working at the site near Kengri.
“We recognise that people's health is influenced by determinants that are deeply fixed in the social, political, economic, cultural and ecological fabric of life. Therefore, the core thrust our organisation is to promote community health based on the social paradigm, through policy action, training, networking and mainstreaming the people’s health movement,” said Prem Das, state conveyor, Jana Arogaya Andolan or People’s Health Movement.
He also added that health is not a medicine, it is a well being of the human body. As nations look to support the health systems, they are gradually looking to primary health care (PHC) to provide a clear and complete sense of course.
The World Health Report 2008 also says that primary health care reforms, represent that the principles of universal access, equity and social justice are a necessary reaction to the health challenges of a speedily altering world and the growing expectations of countries and their citizens for health and health care.
