The draft decree on the regulatory aspect of the Labour Code was adopted on 10 August 2017 under schedule No. 2017-682/PRN/MET/PS. C. Adopt the necessary legislative texts for improved regulation of the private health sector. 380. The right to health is a fundamental right and as a result a Human Right. That is what is laid down in Article 12 (1) of the Constitution: “Each one has a right to life, health, physical and moral integrity, healthy and adequate food, drinking water, education and training under the conditions defined by law”. 381. The need to guarantee health to all citizens is the basis for the Government to allow the private sector to contribute to the improvement of health. Thus, the private sector operates in the health sector through training and provision of services. There are therefore health training centres or private hospitals or clinics where a significant proportion of the population seek healthcare. 78
