VISION, MISSION AND VALUES
Wemos advocates access to health for everyone, everywhere.
Wemos advocates access to health for everyone, everywhere.
Health is a universal human right. Governments must create the conditions for guaranteeing the health of all their citizens: access to health services and protection against threats to health.
Our guiding principle is ‘health as a human right’ – a right that takes precedence over political and economic interests. We believe that the pursuit of health for all in this globalised era is a shared responsibility, that it should favour those left behind according to the equity principle and that it should take the health of future generations into consideration. In addition, we are aware of how policies in one area can affect, counteract with or undermine policies in another area. We strive for policy coherence, for example by addressing the effects of economic policies on health.
