This #WorldHealthDay Grayling is celebrating the amazing work of its clients across the health and development sectors.<\/p>\n
The theme set by WHO for this year\u2019s day is \u2018My health, my right\u2019, promoting the fact that it is a human right to be able to access essential health services, wherever you live. Whilst in the UK we may complain about NHS waiting times, we must not forget that for millions of people, accessing the healthcare or assistive products they need is a real struggle and sometimes impossible.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re really proud to be working with several organisations all aiming, in different ways, to help more people, including some of the world\u2019s most vulnerable, live healthier and more independent lives:<\/p>\n
In January we launched a new global campaign\u00a0UnlocktheEveryday\u00a0for ATscale and partners including WHO and Unicef. Launched at Davos, it aims to promote the importance of access to assistive technology, such as wheelchairs, glasses, hearing aids, prosthetics and digital devices and to address the startling global inequity when it comes to accessing these life transforming products. \u00a0Make sure to put 4th<\/sup>\u00a0June \u2013 the first ever World Day for Assistive Technology in your diaries..<\/p>\n We\u2019re also really proud of the work we\u2019ve been doing with the\u00a0RBM Partnership to End Malaria\u00a0\u2013 a global coalition of organisations with the goal of reducing the malaria burden and ultimately ending malaria for good. We\u2019re hard at work to make sure World Malaria Day on 25th<\/sup>\u00a0April once again shines a global spotlight on malaria and accelerates action towards this goal.<\/p>\n Cancer Grand Challenges\u00a0is an exciting client that is at the forefront of global cancer research. Grayling has just supported the announcement of five new research teams bringing together multidisciplinary cancer experts from around the world to take on cancer\u2019s biggest challenges. The research they\u2019re carrying out could help reduce the burden of cancer for many of us in years to come.<\/p>\n So yes \u2013 it is absolutely everyone\u2019s right to access the healthcare they need and whilst this is still not a reality for far too many people around the world, there is exciting and innovative work being done to improve people\u2019s health and healthcare today and in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This #WorldHealthDay Grayling is celebrating the amazing work of its clients across the health and development sectors.
