Report of the SR on the right to health and Agenda 2030 2016, para. 17
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The right to health requires that health-care goods, services and facilities be available in adequate numbers; financially and geographically accessible, as well as accessible on the basis of non-discrimination; acceptable, that is, respectful of the culture of individuals, minorities, peoples and communities and sensitive to gender and life-cycle requirements; and of good quality. Several of the Sustainable Development Goal targets are relevant to this framework, including the commitment to increase the training, recruitment and retention of health workers in developing countries (target 3.c), which supports the principle of availability of services.
