5. Moreover, the right to health includes a constellation of rights and freedoms emanating from it, represented in the right of the person to control his/her health and body, including the freedom to reproduce, the right to not being subject to medical treatment without his consent, and to be secure from being subject to any medical experiments without his consent; and freedom from torture and other forms of treatment or harsh or inhuman or degrading punishment. 6. The right to health includes a set of entitlements including providing a system to protecting health entailing equal opportunities for all to enjoy the highest level attainable in the health field, the right to prevention, treatment and resisting illnesses, rendering the essential medicines available to all, in addition to the necessity of providing a health system which guarantees maternal, childhood and reproductive health, and assures access to basic health services on an equal footing and at the suitable time; this in addition to the necessity of providing information and health education to all, and to involve the residents in the process of decision making connected to health at the national and societal levels. 7.
