Today is #HumanRightsDay.

This year the @UN is calling for ‘Dignity, Freedom and Justice for All’. Dignity, freedom and justice for all is only possible when everyone has equal access to health services without discrimination.

Health is a human right, no matter your:

Race
Sex
Language
Gender
Disability
Sexual orientation
Political or other opinion
Ethnicity
Religion
Nationality
or any factor.

👉bit.ly/2SIDWxd #HumanRightsDay #HealthForAll

Discrimination and human rights violations within and beyond the health sector cause significant difference in physical and mental health outcomes.

All people deserve health coverage that is:
Good quality
Timely
Acceptable
Affordable
Appropriate.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”

Everyone has the right to access health services without facing discrimination. #HealthForAll!
