Interpretación del derecho de los jóvenes a la salud en el entorno jurídico ecuatoriano

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect on the effective realization of the right to health in Ecuador in 2020 from a human rights perspective. The documentary research carried out from a hermeneutic approach, relied on theoretical methods such as analytical-synthetic and inductive deductive, for which the criteria proposed by the United Nations to monitor compliance with these rights were used as indicators: accessibility, availability, acceptability and quality. Theoretically, a conception of interpretation is assumed based on Dworkin's contributions. From the work carried out, it was concluded that there is currently a setback in the exercise of the right to health, which has been even more exposed with the Covid 19 epidemic; More and more citizens with lower incomes have greater difficulties in accessing health services, treatments and medical benefits that guarantee the effective enjoyment of their health rights.
