Background: This study seeks to utilize both national and international experiences and explores evolution of health law as an emerging academic field. The right to health is one of the components of human rights, the realization of which is considered necessary for the fulfilment of other human rights and intricately linked to the right to life and is also associated with the right social security. Considering the complexity and development of the relationship between health and law at the national and international levels, it is crucial to reassess this long-established area of law, which has developed into a distinct academic discipline. Health rights can be approached from different perspectives: bioethics, public health rights and health care rights. The first is related to ethics, and the second and third are legal approaches. A central theme in these legal approaches is the the right of individuals to shape their own destinies and to archive a state of health. Methods: Prepared by reviewing articles and guidelines related to health law. Conclusion: Health rights are linked to the rights of individual especially those in vulnerable situations, allowing them access to all aspects of health. Therefore, legal responsibility is a significant aspect of health rights. Morevere, national and international laws require government institutions to take on legal responsibilities for providing, protecting and promoting health. These matters include issues of health care rights, including privacy and confidentiality, legal responsibility of health care professionals, fraud and financial abuse, as well as food and drug rights, environmental rights, mental health rights, and the health rights of vulnerable populations.
