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
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.

Access to health services should be a universal reality, not a privilege.
Health is your fundamental right bit.ly/2024WorldHealt…
