The WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All has found that at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitutions. Yet far too many are not passing and putting into practice laws to ensure their populations are entitled to access health services. This underpins the fact that at least 4.5 billion people – more than half of the world’s population – were not fully covered by essential health services in 2021. To address these challenges, the theme for World Health Day 2024 is “My health, my right”.
WHO/Europe is calling upon consumers to become a part of a project aimed at creating a healthier society.
