Abstract

Introduction: Health is a complex concept that has been largely modified over time. Nowadays, the concept of health goes beyond the absence of disease. When talking about Health, it is considered the balance existing within a person to ensure the quality of life that you, close to people, to satisfy the physical and psychological maturity must by medical assistance in society. The main objective of the WHO is to promote the increase in the level of health of all peoples, and health is defined by the organization as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being that does not constitute only the absence of disease or infirmity.

Objectives: To ensure health through policies to prevent the risk of disease, treatment in general, except the same, in the same way, differently, differently, in principle, proportionality and equality, in a clear way, in the process of care, and to provide knowledge about fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution to citizens and competent entities fighting to consolidate the rule of law and democracy in Timor-Leste.

Methodology: We used the literature review method and inclusive source reviews that are linked to health laws.

Conclusion: When talking about the issue of health in priority to the common access of the populations in Timor-Leste as a discrimination that still does not respect the dignity of the human person that addresses it in the constitution as a basic principle that resorts to equal treatment in equal forms and different treatment, to correspond to the idea of justice in principle of equality and proportionality cited by (Tilman CB & Natalino A., 2023).
