Is Health a Right or Family’s Property?

Abstract

We are often geared by the notion that health is an individual right and every individual has equal rights and opportunities for healthcare. However, in Eastern society, the family conquers the right of the individual and decides the treatment modalities. Alongside, healthcare professionals have regulated themselves with the culture of society. Thus, the autonomy of the individual is being compromised. This has enforced us to think about whether "health is an individual's right or a family's property"?
