Abstract: The main problems we find in the field of health, encounter also in Romania in a fairly large proportion, are those related to discrimination, abuse and violation of fundamental rights. We can say that human rights have become the obligatory reference of any modern discourse, but are sometimes treated as a simple "fashionable" element. This can be seen even when we talk about the right to health. We say this because, although the number of countries that include in their constitution the right to health and draft the national legislation necessary to comply with is constantly growing, when it comes to interactions with medical institutions and health care providers, the patients’ rights are not fully respected. All these are the reasons why we decided to look deeper in the issue of the right to health, which, by its nature, requires a multidisciplinary approach, because in its content we find both educational activities and those aimed at promoting lifestyle changes, respectively encouraging policies and legislative measures to improve the quality of life.
