In this sense, it is relevant to mention the recognition by the Inter-American System of the right to health as a true right. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges to be faced.

I will then highlight some achievements and setbacks in this area, focus on the impact of these cases in the region and criticize some of the Court's limited responses.
