Description
Summary:Our assertion is that our freedom exists and can be manifested as long as we do not infringe upon anyone else’s freedom. But is this contention still valid when we aim to protect our health by exercising our rights in this direction and, in the process, we encroach on another fundamental right such as economic freedom? The establishment, through fundamental national and international regulations, of the right to health preservation, entitles every human being to exist, to develop, as health, alongside life, is a goal that each and every one of us strives for.

In this article our focus is on the analysis of some aspects regarding the limitations of exercising such fundamental rights.
