140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution. Yet, for billions of people, this right remains out of reach.

This #WorldHealthDay , we call on all people to claim #MyHealthMyRight !

#MyHealthMyRight means anyone living with HIV has access, without discrimination, to the health services they need.

No excuses.

HIV testing, prevention, treatment and care must be available to everyone, everywhere bit.ly/2024WorldHealt…

#WorldHealthDay

Today, on #WorldHealthDay , we amplify the call for universal access to healthcare, spotlighting the need for equitable treatments and prevention strategies for #STIs .
Everyone deserves the right to health, free from barriers.
Let's unite to ensure comprehensive care for all.

Health is included as a human right in the constitutions of 140 countries, yet billions are still denied this fundamental right in practice.

It's time for action to bridge this gap.

This #WorldHealthDay and everyday, let’s fight for #MyHealthMyRight bit.ly/2024WorldHealt…

Access to health services should be a universal reality, not a privilege.

Health is your fundamental right bit.ly/2024WorldHealt…
