Summary/Abstract: Simultaneously with the universalisation of the concept of fundamental human rights and the adoption of many international instruments for their protection, regional systems are also being developed, with the main purpose of guaranteeing human rights. Within these systems, a number of important legal acts have been adopted to protect fundamental human rights and freedoms, specific mechanisms and jurisdictions have been created for their protection. The extreme importance of regional jurisdictions for the protection of human rights, including the health rights of citizens, is determined by the fact that that they exercise, within their jurisdiction, control over compliance with established legal rules and through their interpretative work contribute to clarifying the various legal institutes, which leads to the improvement of the human rights legislation. Such regional bodies are the European Court of Human Rights, the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the European Committee of Social Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union.
