Health is a fundamental human right #patient #rights #billofrights "The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition". Almost 70 years after these words were adopted in the Constitution of the World Health Organization, they are more powerful and relevant than ever. The right to health for all people means that everyone should have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without suffering financial hardship. No one should get sick and die just because they are poor, or because they cannot access the health services they need. The right to health also means that everyone should be entitled to control their own health and body free from violence and discrimination. Everyone has the right to privacy and to be treated with respect and dignity. Nobody should be subjected to medical experimentation, forced medical examination, or given treatment without informed consent. Discrimination in health care is unacceptable and is a major barrier to development. But when people are given the opportunity to be active participants in their own care, instead of passive recipients, their human rights respected, the outcomes are better and health systems become more efficient.

My passion is vlogging content that tells stories about my career. I have a series of healthcare information videos, medical stories, medically related instructional videos, and "How to's." Sometimes, the surgical playing field is so stressful. So, I usually travel as a form of relaxation and to balance my work's stressful environment. Traveling makes me realize different forms of life outside my working box. Traveling teaches me a lot and updates me on what's going on in life. I also love food. I am trying all kinds, from the usual to the most exotic. So, in some of my videos, you see me cooking on the sides. I also believe in the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." So there are also funny videos on my playlist. I will be glad to know your thoughts, suggestions, opinions or questions. Just comment down below. -LIKE| SHARE| COMMENT| SUBSCRIBE| CLICK THE BELL FOR UPDATES __________________ __________________ YouTube: @Tim Yong, MD Tiktok: @doctimyong on TikTok Email: [email protected] FB: @Tim Trinidad IG: @Tim Trinidad ______________________________________________________________
