Right to Health
2017
This report by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) asserts that all people have the right to quality health care, especially individuals who are living with HIV/AIDS. The report includes a “right to health” timeline and outlines the essential elements of good health care to highlight the intersection of health and human rights. Access of HIV treatment is a central topic of this report, which specifically highlights the voices of patients from typically marginalized communities: children, adolescents, young people, people living with HIV, sex workers, people who use drugs, transgender people, gay men and other men who have sex with men. The report concludes with a focus on the role community health workers in health care deliver, and the importance of investing in HIV/AIDS innovation.
