AbstractThis article discusses a brief history of the concept of Right to Health, the concepts of rights and duties and why both are important and how, in healthcare, one's duty is another's right. The Rajasthan Right to Health Bill, 2022 is analysed and the shortcomings and issues in the Act are discussed. Suggestions to modify the Act and how the same can be implemented are given. In addition, a brief introduction to a successful scheme, the Tamil Nadu Innuyir Kapom Thittam- Nammai Kaakum 48 Scheme, with a similar aim is given. The article concludes that though the Right to Health Act is a noble initiative and is a necessary one; the Act, in its current version, has serious shortcomings and needs to be corrected.
