MY HEALTH IS MY RIGHT

“My health, my right” is the theme of World Health Day 2024. Every person has the right to have access to quality health services, education and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, nutritious food, quality housing, decent work and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination, according to WHO experts.

On the eve of World Health Day on April 5, employees of the Healthy Lifestyle Center, with the participation of Varushkin Eduard, rehabilitation physician of Rehabilitation Center, organized and conducted mass exercises at a hospital-wide planning meeting.

The health of an individual and society as a whole depends on many social, natural and biological factors, and is determined 20% by the environment, 20% by heredity, 50% by lifestyle, and only 10% of it depends on the health care system.
