A fundamental "right to health" is expressly guaranteed by the constitutions of several Bundesländer, but unknown to the German Federal Constitution. Instead the Federal Constitutional Court has - especially on the basis of related human rights - developed the obligation of the State to protect everybody's life and physical integrity, which in some respects comes near to a "right to health". The State's autonomy in financial matters, the scarcity of its financial resources and the individual's natural responsibility for his own health though advise against exaggerated hopes set in a "right to health".
几个联邦州的宪法明确保障了基本的“健康权”，但德国联邦宪法中并未提及。相反，联邦宪法法院——特别是基于相关人权——确立了国家保护每个人生命和身体健全的义务，这在某些方面接近于“健康权”。然而，国家在财政事务上的自主权、财政资源的稀缺性以及个人对自身健康的自然责任，都不建议对“健康权”抱有过高期望。
