🌍🩺 On this World Health Day, we reflect on the fundamental principle that health is a human right. This year's theme, 'My health, my right,' serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to quality healthcare. 👩⚕️ At Carenity, we believe that every individual has the right to be an active participant in their own health journey. We empower patients and caregivers by providing a platform for them to share their experiences, challenges, and participate in surveys that help shape the future of healthcare. Through their insights, we can drive meaningful change and improve the quality of care for all. 🌟 As we celebrate World Health Day, let's commit to amplifying the voices of patients and caregivers and ensuring that their rights are upheld in healthcare systems worldwide. 👇 Take a look at how Carenity provides the tools to let patients and caregivers have an active participation on their health rights. #WorldHealthDay #HealthForAll #MyHealthMyRight #Carenity

In the #sixth part of our series on #socialdeterminants of #care, we discuss how each social determinant is #interconnected. For instance, lack of #education may be correlated with lower #economic stability, which can lead to lower #socioeconomic status and cause #patients to have limited access to #necessities and affordable #healthcare. Furthermore, accessing #communitysupport is crucial to decreasing #disparities caused by these determinants of care. Therefore, #providers should #screen for patients who need additional assistance so they can connect them with #community organizations. How else can providers help overcome these social determinants of care and lead to better #health outcomes for patients?
