Direito fundamental à saúde na Colômbia: perspectivas constitucionais a partir da jurisprudência da corte constitucional da República da Colômbia
Summary: This commentary reviews the Colombian Constitutional Court’s T-760 ruling on the fundamental right to health, made on July 31st, 2008. The judicial interpretation guidelines on right to health in Colombia were consolidated in this decision, such as the protective scope’s outline, the role played by the so-called vital minimum in realizing the right to health, the regulatory and administrative framework’s reformulation in order to provide for adequate access to health services, the right to health’s object and reach and also the right’s financing for economically-challenged people. All these interpretation guidelines are set by the constitutional principles of solidarity, continuity, comprehensiveness and universality of access to health services.
