Why CSH And The WHO Believe That Your Health Is Your Right On World Health Day 2024

World Health Day 2024 is a day dedicated to global health awareness under the sponsorship of the World Health Organisation. Celebrated every year on the 7th April. The theme for this year is 'My Health, My Right', a theme chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as thinking about the wider issues of the right to access safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions and freedom from discrimination.

What is CSH doing for World Health Day 2024?

At CSH, we believe that everyone has the absolute, fundamental right to the best quality healthcare, and that open access knowledge to help support you to make informed choices is key. By empowering patients with the knoweledge and tools they need to make informed decisions, each individual can take control of their own health and wellbeing. 

That is why as part of World Health Day 2024, CSH is advocating for your right to make decisions about your own health. As part of this year’s ‘my health, my right’ theme, chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, CSH is continuing its work in making healthcare more sustainable and more accessible. That is why our resource library and networks platform are free and open to everyone, everywhere, no exceptions. If you would like to learn more about sustainable healthcare to support your decisions about your own health or to help others in your community do the same, join our networks and browse thousands of free resources and posts.
