Championing the right to health for all South Africans
JOHANNESBURG - World Health Day raises awareness about health issues and advocates for accessible healthcare for all.
This year's theme is "My Health, my Right".
It was chosen to champion the right of everyone to have access to quality 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.
How well is South Africa faring in terms of health rights?
Deputy Director General for Primary Health Care at the National Health Department, Jeanette Hunter joined eNCA to discuss this.
