We have come a long way in advancing progress on the right to health with equity, although challenges remain. All populations have the right to have access to affordable disease prevention, diagnostics, medicines and other health services in a rights-based equitable manner, said Katherine Urbaez. We must respect, protect, and act on the human right to health. We cannot leave anyone behind, including those in the conflict zones who are at a higher risk of AMR.
