Abstract

This article presents a comparative analysis between the human rights described in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Organic Laws 8,080/1990 and 8,142/1990, which regulate the Brazilian Unified Health System. The three documents were related and compared, the first, an international one and the other two of national character, to identify humanistic and ethical values in the legal framework of Brazilian public health. Discussions on this topic are fundamental so health professionals can identify
the gaps between theory and hospital practice, thus ensuring the rights of patients.
