Standing up for Public Health Accountability
Public health accountability is crucial, as highlighted in the conversation. Despite the World Health Organization defining health comprehensively, including mental and social well-being, there's a lack of willingness to address situations where this definition is not met. This extends beyond physical borders, addressing issues like unequal development and political conflicts like those in Palestine. The conversation emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the psychological impact of the ongoing crises, stating that the psychic toll also has a long-term death count. The discussion underscores the necessity for organizations to not only define health but also to actively stand up when these standards are not being upheld.
