疫情中的健康權：以台灣為例

The Right to Health in the Pandemic: The Case of Taiwan

2020年世界各國陸續爆發COVID-19，為了及時拯救染疫人民及避免疫情持續擴散，各國需要在急迫的時間內做出各種因應，然而這些手段對於人民基本權的侵害仍不能忽視。與其由功利主義抑或自由主義的角度出發探討政策優劣，本文提出以健康權視角描繪出一個可能的替代治理模式。有鑒於台灣目前健康權概念尚嫌模糊，本文以經濟、社會和文化權利委員會第14號一般性意見作為基礎，從國際公約中的健康權角度來檢視現今我國防疫政策，可以看見在我國政府政策下，雖然大部分人口能免於染疫，然而仍有許多不平等潛藏在之中。在官方制定疫苗施打順序時，更明顯有資訊權不夠周全保障，而使得資訊不對等，激化了人民與官方間的衝突。由健康權角度思考，將使政府在制定政策時，不但考量人民生理上的保護，亦同時能重視心理上的健全。

As the COVID-19 pandemic erupted in 2022, governments worldwide have taken various public health measures that often infringe on human rights. Instead of focusing on the utilitarian or libertarian approaches that underpin Taiwan's pandemic response, the Article examines Taiwan's public health measures through the lens of the right to health: as currently, the jurisprudence on the right to health is underdeveloped. The Article refers to General Comment 14 as a starting point to investigate ways in which public health measures can help mitigate health inequalities as well as ensure the meaningful realization of the right to health-both mentally and psychologically.
