Abstract: (765 Views)
Despite marked improvements in the health index in recent years, the right to health of millions of people is under increasing threat. The right to health is everyone's right to enjoy the highest attainable physical and mental health standards. It is closely linked to the realization of other human rights. The right to health encompasses access not only to health services but also to economic stability, quality education, employment, housing, suitable living facilities, and other aspects that contribute to health. To overcome these challenges, the theme of World Health Day 2024 has been selected as "My Health, My Right." This year's theme was selected to champion the right of everyone, everywhere, to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as healthy drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, good working and environmental conditions.
