RESUMEN
Se revisan los conceptos que fundamentan los derechos humanos (DDHH), desde la perspectiva del iusnaturalismo. Los DDHH, que emanan del derecho natural, es el conjunto de atributos del hombre que derivan de su naturaleza humana,de su vida, que le permiten razonar, ser digno, autónomo, libre, con salud, tener un lenguaje, expresar manifestaciones artísticas y religiosas, con respeto hacia otras personas y a su persona, dentro de la cultura del grupo al que pertenece.Los DDHH están ligados a la vida, a la atención de salud y, ésta, al acceso de medicamentos, al estar amparado por la Constitución. Los medicamentos deben ser eficaces, inocuos y de calidad, con reposiciones oportunas, y los programas estar a cargo de funcionarios eficientes. Se discute sobre los DDHH y aspectos éticos en varias etapas de la historia.Se explora lo concerniente a los ensayos clínicos para el estudio de medicamentos innovadores, el contenido ético de documentos como la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos, el Código de Nuremberg, la Declaración deHelsinki, la opinión de la Confederación Médica Latinoamericana y del Caribe respecto a modificaciones que afectaríanla salud de los probandos. Se hace referencia a los medicamentos esenciales o genéricos e innovadores. Es vista la jurisprudencia y decisiones respecto a patentes de medicamentos en algunos países de la región, las experiencias peruanas en el ámbito educativo y su proyección futura, opiniones de ecónomos y la importancia de los genéricos. Unapolítica de medicamentos, debe cautelar los DDHH respecto a la vida y la salud.
ABSTRACT
The concepts that are the basis of the human rights (HHRR) are revised from the perspective of the iusnaturalism. HHRR are originated from the natural right, and are the group of attributes of men that are derived from his human nature, his life, that allow him to reason, be worthy, autonomous, free , in good health, have a language, express artistic and religiousmanifestations, showing due respect to other people and himself, inside the culture of the group to which he belongs. HHRR are linked to life, to health assistance , and on turn, to drug access, as it is contemplated in the Constitution. Drugs must be efficacious, safe and of high quality, must be replaced on time and the programs must be driven by efficientmanagers. We discuss about the HHRR and ethical aspects in many stages of history. We explore clinical trials for the study of innovating drugs, the ethical contents of documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Nuremberg Code, the Helsinki Declaration, the opinion of the Medical Confederation of Latin-America and the Caribbean regarding modifications that would affect the health of the study subjects. We refer to essential or generic drugs and novel drugs. We revise the law system and decisions concerning the drug patents in some countries of the region, peruvian experiences in the educational field and their future projections, opinions from economists and the relevance of generic drugs. A drug policy must care for the HHRR regarding life and health.
