Abstract
Vulnerable populations have traditionally faced non-availability of health services. Enforcement of constitutional protections to vulnerable citizens is essential to secure the health rights for them. The current narrative review was planned in the perspective of laws related to health rights by reviewing and highlighting such provisions in the constitutions of different countries and the scope of the World Health Organization (WHO), and to compare them with the on-ground situation prevailing in Pakistan. The findings can invoke debate, inspire research and facilitate the recognition of the enabling provisions for healthcare guaranteed in the Constitution. Data was searched related to constitution and health affairs of countries, including Pakistan, United States, United Kingdom, China, Saudi Arabia and India, using search engines, databases and different websites. Of the 170 reports, publications and articles downloaded, 30(17.6%)full-text articles, publications and reports in English language were used for the narrative review.
