Article 16 of the African Charter guarantees that "[elvenj individual shall have the right to enjoy the best attainable state of physical and mental health." This right entails the obligation of state parties to take me necessary steps to protect the health of their people and to ensure that they re~eive appropriate medical attention when they are sick. The right to the best attainable state of physical and mental health also entails both a positive obligation on the part of the State to progressively realise the right of access to the basic necessities for good health such as food, water and healthcare, and a negative obligation to not impede access by the civilian population to these necessities. 182.
