Justice and Change in Global World1
The public health has become a growing concern for the healthcare industry. The
public health has to face certain challenges, as pointed out by the researchers. The changes in
the economy, the ongoing globalization, climate change and the rapidly growing fast food
market, have made the public health a point of concern in the healthcare industry. The
Catholic Social Theory first incorporated health as a common good, into the system of
understanding. According to the theory, neither the healthcare institutions nor the healthcare
system can be regarded as the common good, however, the system of healthcare is a part of
the proper functioning of the community life and also a part of the total health care system
(Brownson et al, 2018). Therefore, the health is regarded as the public good.
The researchers have therefore, been posed with certain challenges regarding the
appropriation or realization of the public health as a common good. As viewed by the
researchers, there are two aspects of issues related to the health being a common good, one is,
health- related human rights, and the other on is, health- related common goods. The issues
related to health and human rights, argues that the individuation of the health rights, is fixed
by the reference to the subject matter is interested in its corresponding obligations and not in
the personal interests that it obliges to (Vayena et al., 2015). Another challenging position, as
found by the human rights policy makers, is the human rights fail to constitute the whole of
the global health justice and the promotion of the same. There is seen to be a lack in the
policies that are available. A third challenging position, as according to the researchers, is
that the orientation towards the conception of the relationship between human rights and
common goods. The policy makers are of the opinion the human rights and the common
goods are not as mutually exclusive, as they are perceived to be, by the individuals
(Santorum, 2014). There are certain individual rights that can be practiced as regarded by the
researchers, but it is often seen that the individuals not aware of the fact and even of they are
aware, they do not act upon the same in the rightful manner.
