I love you siblings. You deserve the world and more. In me you have an unwavering commitment to protecting, promoting and fulfilling your right to health and broadly fighting like hell for a just and equitable society one in which you thrive not merely barely survive. 🩷💙🩷
The @UN mandate of Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical & mental health is for my siblings too! It is not my own to destroy the rights of others. It’s a @UNHumanRights resolution I’m held accountable to 🩷💙🩷

I’m dedicating my next report to the UN General Assembly 2023 to focus on food security, an underlying determinant of health. For millions around the world, they have poor physical and mental health outcomes as a result of hunger, instability, corporate greed, war, climate.
There are many thematic areas to show that without food security and nutrition there can be no highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.

There are many important milestones globally related to policy/legislation, health systems & clinical care and in my capacity as UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to health I’m mandated with monitoring the situation of the right to health throughout the world.
I speak often about the need for States to operationalise the right to health and fully ratify the right to health in order to address many issues related to the full realisation of this right; national processes are key in protection, fulfilling & respecting the right to health
