In 2024, the World Health Organization marks its 76th anniversary, and as part of the celebration, it has chosen 'My Health, My Right' as the theme for World Health Day. This theme highlights the fundamental human entitlement to access quality healthcare, education, and information. Let's reflect on the interconnectedness of environmental health and human well-being. From the air, we breathe to the water we drink and the green spaces we enjoy, our environment plays a pivotal role in shaping our health outcomes. 🏥 Healthcare Access and Equity: Access to quality healthcare services is fundamental to promoting health and well-being. Let's work towards policies that ensure healthcare access for all individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status, geographical location, or other barriers, to achieve health equity and reduce disparities in health outcomes. 🍎 Nutrition and Food Security: A nutritious diet is essential for maintaining good health and preventing chronic diseases. Let's advocate for policies that promote access to affordable, nutritious food options, support sustainable agriculture practices, and address food insecurity to ensure everyone can enjoy a healthy diet. 💧 Water Sanitation: Access to safe drinking water is a basic human right and a cornerstone of public health. Let's work towards implementing water sanitation infrastructure, educating communities on hygiene practices, and ensuring equitable access to clean water for all individuals worldwide. ✅ Air Quality: Ensuring clean air is not just about environmental conservation; it's about safeguarding public health. Let's advocate for policies that prioritize reducing air pollution, promoting renewable energy sources, and improving urban planning to create healthier cities for all. 🌳 Green Spaces: Nature has a profound impact on our well-being, from reducing stress to promoting physical activity. Let's support initiatives that preserve and create green spaces in our communities, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the restorative power of nature. As we celebrate World Health Day, let's commit to building a healthier future together by recognizing the importance of environmental health and addressing key factors that impact public health. Together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. #WorldHealthDay #HealthForAll #EnvironmentalHealth #PublicHealth #HealthyLiving 🌱🌏

Today, I will be talking on; Embracing a One Health Approach: Addressing Contemporary Health Issues 🌐. In today's interconnected world, the health of our planet, animals, and humans is intricately intertwined. As we navigate through contemporary challenges, it is imperative to adopt a holistic perspective - The One Health Approach.👥 🌱 Why One Health Matters: Contemporary issues such as emerging infectious diseases, climate change, and food security demand a united front. The health of humans and animals is intimately linked to environmental conditions. A One Health approach not only enhances disease surveillance and control but also promotes sustainable and resilient ecosystems. 🌐 Tackling Zoonotic Threats: Zoonotic diseases, those that can transfer from animals to humans, pose significant global threats. COVID-19 is a stark reminder of the need for a coordinated approach. By collaborating across sectors, we can strengthen early detection, response mechanisms, and preventive measures to mitigate the impact of such outbreaks. 🌍 Climate Change Resilience: Our planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges. One Health promotes sustainable practices that protect biodiversity, ensure clean air and water, and mitigate climate change. By acknowledging the intricate balance between ecosystems and health, we can work towards a healthier, more resilient future for all. 🤝 Collaboration is Key: As a passionate advocate for One Health, I believe in the power of collaboration to tackle the pressing challenges of our time. By fostering partnerships and sharing knowledge, we can create innovative solutions that benefit both people and the planet. Success in implementing the One Health approach hinges on collaboration between governments, academia, healthcare professionals, veterinarians, environmentalists, and communities.

🌍 World Health Day 2024: My Health, My Right 🌍 Today, on World Health Day 2024, we stand united in addressing a critical concern that touches us all - our fundamental right to health. Across the globe, our health rights are under threat, with diseases, disasters, conflicts, and environmental challenges like air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, jeopardizing our well-being. Every 5 seconds, someone loses their life due to air pollution, a stark reminder of the climate crisis's impact on our right to clean air. Despite over 140 countries recognizing health as a constitutional right, more than half the world's population lacks full access to essential health services. This year's theme, "My Health, My Right," calls for action to ensure universal access to quality healthcare, education, and information. It emphasizes the importance of safe drinking water, clean air, adequate nutrition, and sanitary living conditions, advocating for a world where everyone is protected from discrimination and can enjoy a healthy environment. Let's raise our voices to champion the cause of universal health access, ensuring that every individual can claim their right to health. Share this message, spread the word, and let's make health for all a reality! #WorldHealthDay2024 #MyHealthMyRight #UniversalHealthcare www.tezted.com

In a world where the right to health is increasingly threatened, let's celebrate World Health Day! 🌍💚 As conflicts ravage communities and the burning of fossil fuels worsens the climate crisis, air pollution claims one life every 5 seconds, underscoring the urgent need to prioritize our well-being. According to the WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All, while at least 140 countries acknowledge health as a human right in their constitutions, only 4 countries have outlined specific plans for financing it. To address these types of challenges, the theme for World Health Day 2024 is "My health, my right". This year’s theme was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination. Source: World Health Day 2024: My health, my right (who.int) Let's unite to create healthier communities by promoting physical and mental health, embracing regular exercise, and making informed choices. Together, we can build a world where everyone has the opportunity for a healthy and happy life. #WorldHealthDay #GesundheitFürAlle #GemeinsamGesund #WHO

Our Planet - Our Health 🌎 Around the world, the right to health of millions is increasingly coming under threat. Conflicts are devastating lives, causing death, pain, hunger and psychological distress. The burning of fossil fuels is simultaneously driving the climate crisis and taking away our right to breathe clean air, with indoor and outdoor air pollution claiming a life every 5 seconds. The WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All has found that although at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution, only 4 countries have mentioned how to finance it. To address these types of challenges, the theme for World Health Day 2024 is 'My health, my right’. This year’s theme was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination.

We are a consortium of more than 1000 organisations from 51 African countries that brings together a diverse membership drawn from Grassroots, CBOs, FBOs.
This past weekend's observance of #WorldHealthDay2024 served as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness between our health and the health of our planet. Ensuring access to affordable healthcare services and implementing robust preventative measures are imperative for all. 🏥 Health equity lies at the core of our global health objectives. However, too many individuals still lack access to basic healthcare services, clean water, and sanitation - all crucial elements for well-being. This World Health Day, let's recommit to fostering health equity and environmental justice. Together, let's address the root causes of health disparities, including the ramifications of climate change, by collaborating on social, economic, and environmental fronts. #HealthForAll #EnvironmentalJustice
