HEALTH AS A HUMAN RIGHT
"THE IDEA THAT SOME LIVES MATTER LESS IS THE ROOT OF ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD." -DR. PAUL FARMER
The unconditional belief in the universality of health as a human right is the bedrock of our mission. If in fact we find common ground in the notion that every human being has the right to be healthy (as outlined by art. 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), then we must agree that universal rights apply to all human beings regardless of their skin color, the country they’re born in, or their social class. It is important to recognize that the right to health is not the only right held by our patients. Other fundamental human rights are interrelated and just as inalienable. Focusing on health as a human right means the implicit acceptance and defense of every other universal human right.

THE RIGHT TO HEALTH IS:
UNIVERSAL
INTERRELATED
INALIENABLE
All people have universal human rights. The right to
health is connected to the right to education, clean water, decent housing,
dignified employment, and all other political, civil, social, and economic
human rights
The ability to access high quality health care should not depend on a person’s income, nationality, gender, language spoken, profession, where they live, whom they love, which disease they have, or the charity of others. That is why PIH is committed to providing unconditional and comprehensive health care.
No person or government should stand in the way of another
human being who is trying to fulfill these universal rights, and everyone
should join the movement to protect them.
