The right to health is a fundamental human right that includes the right to experience the highest attainable standard physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The right to health must be enjoyed by everyone without discrimination and achieving this requires targeted efforts to ensure equal and inclusive access, decision-making, participation, systems, and well-being for the most vulnerable. Health programs by themselves will not achieve World Vision’s development goals if they exclude or treat certain groups unequally. Integrating Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) approaches in health programming will ensure vulnerable groups (such as women, children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, refugees, and others) can equally access and participate in health decision-making structures and benefit from health-related development interventions.
