On 5 December 2015, patients from across the world will come together to celebrate Patient Solidarity Day. Stand with us to proclaim that healthcare is a human right – without exception - which must be reflected at every level of healthcare.
The theme of Patient Solidarity Day – healthcare is a human right – is built upon a number of international laws which protect the rights of people around the world. There is substance behind the messaging: healthcare decision-makers are obliged by law to respect the rights of patients.
These laws are part the International Human Rights Framework, a body of international law monitored by UN agencies that most Member States have approved in more than ten international treaties. You can find out more about human rights and healthcare on the ‘human rights-based approach to healthcare’ page. Key messages about Patient Solidarity Day
1) Healthcare is a human right.
2) We should all have access to the healthcare we need.
3) Good quality, affordable care without fear of discrimination. This is our human right.
4) Decision-makers should respect, protect and fulfil the rights of patients.
5) Systems should be designed and services delivered to meet the needs of patients.
