世界卫生组织在4月7日世界卫生日之际启动了"我的健康，我的权利"宣传活动，敦促各国政府采取措施确保全民获得优质健康服务、教育和安全饮水等基本条件1。该组织指出，全球面临严重的卫生覆盖缺口和财务困境，其中超过半数人口（45亿人）未被纳入基本卫生服务保护范围1，约20亿人因卫生成本承受经济困难，这一状况在过去二十年间持续恶化1。
为扭转这一局面，世界卫生组织呼吁各国进行有意义的投资并确保决策透明度和问责制，同时让社区参与卫生决策过程1。据测算，低收入和中等收入国家每年需要额外投入2亿至3.28亿美元用于扩展初级卫生保健，相当于国内生产总值的3.3%1。WHO总干事谭德塞强调："实现卫生权利需要政府制定和实施法律、进行投资、消除歧视并对人民负责"1。自2000年以来已有42个国家成功改进了卫生服务覆盖率和防灾性卫生支出保护，至少140个国家在国家宪法中承认卫生权利，这些进展表明变革是可能实现的1。
The World Health Organization has launched the "My Health, My Rights" campaign on World Health Day, April 7, calling for governments to take decisive action to ensure universal access to quality health services, education, and safe water.1 The initiative underscores the persistent gaps in global health coverage, with more than half the world's population—approximately 4.5 billion people—lacking access to essential health services as of 2021.1
The health crisis extends beyond access alone. Some 2 billion people face financial hardship due to out-of-pocket health costs, a situation that has deteriorated over the past two decades.1 To address these disparities, the WHO emphasizes that countries require additional annual investments ranging from 200 to 328 million dollars to expand primary healthcare in low- and middle-income nations, equivalent to 3.3 percent of gross domestic product.1 The organization calls for governments to enact and enforce legislation protecting health rights, eliminate discrimination, ensure transparent accountability mechanisms, and meaningfully involve communities in health decision-making.1
Progress has been documented in some regions, with 42 countries successfully improving health service coverage and financial protection for health expenses since 2000, and at least 140 nations recognizing the right to health in their national constitutions.1 WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated: "Realizing the right to health requires governments to enact and implement laws, make investments, eliminate discrimination, and be accountable to their people."1
