This article aims to identify how conceptions of health are present in the scientific production of researchers in the legal field. Through bibliographical research and systematic literature review, it is identified that the most used concept of health in scientific journals between 2015 and 2019 is "Health as a Human and Fundamental Right", followed by "Health as a Consumer Good" and by emerging from “Health technology and research”. This means that health is still understood as a right that must be collective, and not individual or a consumer good. Finally, it is clear that health has been strengthened, for 33 years, as an acknowledged fundamental right by the academy, and not as a consumer good.
