Health workers, hospitals and ambulances should NEVER be targets. Safe access to care must be protected everywhere, for everyone. Human rights are universal, and our right to health goes with us wherever we are. Learn more 👉bit.ly/3XF8L5Z #HumanRightsDay

It can involve an assault, intimidation, threats, or obstruction to services and patients.”
