Human beings are regarded as the most important and valued assets of all time. A good investment in this asset can reap long term benefits and one of the primary ways to do this is by looking after their health. This article explores public health as a socio-legal issue and the laws and regulations related to the health sector in India, focusing on the Constitutional perspective on health. The article delves into the evolution of health laws in India over time starting from Ancient India to the current situation after the COVID-19 pandemic. It then critically assesses how India managed the pandemic crisis as compared to its global counterparts, highlighting the need for collaboration between public and private sectors. The article concludes with suggestions to reform the healthcare system through effective policy implementation and more.
