The World Health Organization’s Council on the Economics of Health for All has found that although at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitutions, only four countries have mentioned how to finance it. To address this type of challenge, the theme of World Health Day 2024, which was celebrated on April 7, is “My health, my right.”.
And this motto is what drives Fundación Recover, Hospitals for Africa, a non-profit organization that has been working since 2007 with the goal of ensuring dignified and quality healthcare for all people in Sub-Saharan Africa. We already got to know the work of Recover a few years ago through this program and today we want to update that work with Marta Marañón, general director of Fundación Recover.
