In any democracy, the judiciary plays a crucial role in law enforcement. One of the many areas it covers is the right to health.

The Judiciary also goes a long way in defining and clarifying aspects and contents of the right to health in addition to serving as a guardian of constitutional health-related rights, ensuring that justice prevails in matters of public health and individual wellbeing.
