Georgia Clinicians for Climate Action’s Post

Health is not created in clinics and hospitals. It is created in the streets, homes, communities, schools, markets, workplaces and parliaments. It is created in the air people breathe, food they eat, the water they drink, the conditions in which they live and work and in our changing climate. Whenever people do need care, they must be able to access the health services they need, when and where they need them without facing financial hardship by paying for care out of their own pockets. #HealthForAll #UHC #ClimateAction #ClimateAndHealth Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus World Health Organization

Protecting the Right to Health: A Global Imperative 🌍✊ As diseases, disasters, and conflicts threaten millions, and the climate crisis exacerbates, the right to health is under siege. Despite 140 countries recognizing health as a human right, essential health services remain out of reach for over half the world's population. For World Health Day 2024, the theme 'My health, my right' calls for universal access to quality healthcare, education, clean air, water, and more. It's time to ensure health equity for all and uphold our fundamental rights. #ClimateAction #WorldHealthDay2024 #WHDay2024 #HealthForAll #ClimateHealth #pacjasouthafrica #PACJA
