This analysis reveals challenges in access to healthcare services in Azerbaijan, highlighting the role of compulsory health insurance in enhancing public health outcomes.
This article examines the role of compulsory health insurance in the realization of the right to health protection in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The right to health protection is recognized as an integral part of fundamental human rights, enshrined both in the national Constitution and in international legal instruments. However, the effective implementation of this right requires not only legal recognition but also functional mechanisms, including a sustainable and inclusive health insurance system. Since 2020, the introduction of compulsory health insurance in Azerbaijan has aimed to enhance access to healthcare services and improve public health outcomes. Nevertheless, issues such as regional disparities, inadequate funding models, personnel shortages, and service quality concerns continue to hinder the system's efficiency. The article explores the legal and institutional causes of these challenges and emphasizes the need for reforms within the existing legislative framework.
