Jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court in the field of public policies in the health sector

In Peru, the right to health is recognized in article 7 of the current Constitutional Charter. This right is also included in various international human, economic, social and cultural rights instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Protocol of San Salvador and international treaties. However, the fact that it is a right of this nature does not mean that it is ignored by the State or that from now on it is considered an aspect of the second category, as the Constitutional Court has strongly emphasized.
This study is framed in this context and aims to highlight the relationship between the Constitutional Court of Peru and its public health policy, ensuring the effective enjoyment of rights, repairing state inaction, promoting legal reform and the purpose is to clarify the aspects institutional aspects of the constituent process or, simply, create spaces for constructive social dialogue in which specific minorities can express their demands and supervise or question the decisions of state authorities.
