Insights from Industry leaders on World Health Day 2024

Mr. Sony Thomas, Executive Director, CBM India Trust – “On World Health Day, this year’s theme “My health, my right” echoes profoundly, emphasizing the intrinsic importance of equitable access to quality healthcare for all. It is universally acknowledged that health is a fundamental human right, essential for a life of dignity and well-being. However, despite tremendous advancements, significant disparities persist, particularly for members of marginalized communities, including persons with disabilities.

At CBM India, we stand firmly with the WHO in advocating for a world where ‘My health, my right’ rings true for everyone. We believe that persons with disabilities deserve to make informed choices about their health and access affordable and quality care, free from discrimination. This is why we actively work to remove the obstacles that hinder their access to medical care, envisioning a future where inclusive healthcare ensures everyone’s needs are met and barriers are addressed.

This World Health Day serves as a poignant call to action to reaffirm our commitment to redefining health and healthcare as inalienable rights, not a privilege limited to a fortunate few. Through collaborative partnerships, innovative solutions, and decisive actions, we can work towards bridging the gap and eliminating disparities in healthcare access. By fostering a society where no one is left behind, we can truly realize the vision of universal health for all, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and live their healthiest lives.”
