Aujourd’hui c’est la journée mondiale des droits humains ! Chaque personne a droit à des services comme la santé, l’accès à l’eau potable pour profiter de la vie !
🌎 Today, on #HumanRightsDay, PAHO reminds us that health is a human right and an everyday necessity.
Everyone must receive adequate and non-discriminatory health care, but also have safe water, clean air, food, housing, among other key factors to enjoy a healthy life.
Dans le cadre de la Semaine Nationale de la Santé, revivez en images les moments forts de la première journée, dédiée à la Journée Mondiale de la Santé, au Cap-Haïtien.
De nombreuses personnes atteintes de #diabète ne savent pas qu'elles l'ont.
Sans diagnostic ni traitement, il peut causer de graves complications, même la mort.
En cette #JourneeMondialeDuDiabete, rendons l'éducation, le diagnostic & le traitement du diabète accessibles à tous!
Demain, c'est la #JournéeMondialeduDiabète!
L'obésité et l'inactivité physique sont les principaux facteurs de risque du #diabète de type 2. Ces facteurs sont plus élevés en Amériques que partout ailleurs dans le monde.
