‘The Directive Principles of our Constitution provide a basis for the right to health’, argues D. Ravikumar
Villupuram Member of Parliament D. Ravikumar has urged the Centre to introduce a Bill in the forthcoming monsoon session of Parliament to amend Article 21 of the Constitution and make healthcare as a fundamental right for all citizens.
In a letter addressed to Union Minister for Law and Justice Ravishankar Prasad, Mr. Ravikumar said that the COVID-19 pandemic had not only become a major health crisis but also an economic crisis for the country’s citizens. Access to adequate health facilities still remains a distant dream.
