@WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @DrTedros @UN Today is #HumanRightsDay

The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental right of every human being bit.ly/2BZ2CbA

#StandUp4HumanRights , stand up for #HealthForAll

@WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @DrTedros @UN @antonioguterres Today is #HumanRightsDay

Health costs 💰 prevent millions of people from seeking or getting the care they need. Protecting the right to health means protecting people from financial hardship.

HEALTH IS A HUMAN RIGHT.

It's time for #HealthForAll

@WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @DrTedros @UN @antonioguterres It's #HumanRightsDay

Refugees’ and migrants’ health should never be considered separate from the overall health of the population.

Leave no one behind.

@WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @DrTedros @UN @antonioguterres @Refugees The right to health means people are the centre of their care. Health care should be designed and delivered from the perspective of people, not diseases

@WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @DrTedros @UN @antonioguterres @Refugees End unlawful medical detentions.
Detention of patients and family members for non-payment of medical bills is harmful to health and contrary to international law.

@WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @WHO_Europe @pahowho @DrTedros @UN @antonioguterres @Refugees No one should get sick and die just because they are poor, or because they cannot access the health services they need.

Health is a human right.

End coercion in #mentalhealth.
We all have the same rights. We should aim for community inclusion, not institutionalization.

Access to #contraception is a fundamental right.
It contributes to improved health outcomes and benefits individuals, families and communities.

Purported 'cures' aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation are harmful, lack medical justification and are unethical.
They should never be performed.
