This essay presents the right to health as a human right, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, it analyzes health and human rights from a Latin American perspective based on vulnerability. Second, it critically examines the models of research and intervention in health, reconstructed from the policies in relation to HIV/AIDS, to think about the right to health and health policies in times of COVID-19. Third, it presents the results of a research about the perceptions and demands of health professionals in the face of the pandemic that was starting in Argentina in April 2020. Finally, it discusses the problem of death and recapitulates essential challenges to consider the right to health or, more broadly, the link between health and human rights in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and what is to come.
