Access to medical treatment rights

Principles or concepts regarding public health service systems and the provision of public health services. In the society of each country, the system largely depends on the values and philosophical concepts held by that society or country. The values related to organizing public health service systems and providing public health services in society according to international standards consist of four principles: (1) The Principle of Equality refers to the state's provision of public health services to the public, which must be based on equality and equity. Citizens must have equal access to services regardless of differences in income or place of residence, and the state must expand public health services to be sufficient and accessible nationwide. (2) The Principle of Equity refers to the state's provision of public health services, which must be related to the normative health needs of the public. These normative health needs are determined by various experts and differ from the felt health needs recognized by the public. Citizens in each group with equal normative health needs must receive services from the state equally, without regard to income or economic status. (3) The Principle of Freedom refers to the individual's freedom to choose public health services according to their willingness, depending on their ability to pay. This freedom is related to the income and purchasing power of each individual, such as choosing to receive services at a state hospital or a private hospital, which depends on the satisfaction of the service recipient. (4) The Principle of Optimality or the Principle of Efficiency
