However, this right is one of the rights that most of the time seems to be forgotten. In the era of decentralization, the local government is still lacking of the concept of the enjoyment of the human rights to health is a vital to all aspect of a person's life and well being regardless their social level, religions, gender, race and ethnicity. In most cases, the government reacts to the need of health care but lack of the protection of health rights that beyond the service per se. The government also fails to link the health right with the environment protection.
