Theme of World Health Day 2024

This year’s World Health Day theme is”My health, my right.” The theme emphasizes that having access to necessary medical care should no longer be a privilege but rather a right. At least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitutions, according to The WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All. However, these nations are not enacting and implementing legislation to guarantee their citizens’ access to health care.

“The focus of the theme for this year is to support everyone’s right to high-quality health care, education, and information, as well as their right to clean, safe water to drink, healthy food, adequate housing, respectable working and environmental circumstances, and freedom from discrimination”, says WHO.
