#WHACountdown 世界衛生大會倒數 8天！
即日起至 #WHA 召開，我們每天都會分享貼文聲援台灣參加世界衛生大會，並支持台灣擴大公衛領域等國際參與。
國際新聞協會（IPI）上個月呼籲世界衛生組織給予台灣記者採訪許可證，國際新聞協會是一個維護新聞自由的全球網絡，由編輯、媒體主管及具影響力的新聞記者所組成。在寫給世界衛生組織秘書長譚德塞（Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）的信函中，國際新聞協會的執行董事崔歐菲（Barbara Trionfi）提到，阻擋台灣記者採訪就是阻礙新冠肺炎相關訊息的流通，崔歐菲談到：「健康與獲得資訊的權利應凌駕政治和地理的界限。」，她也提到：「我們認為，世衛組織拒絕發給台灣記者採訪證，以及阻擋台灣人民獲得資訊的管道，不只違背其成立宗旨，更損害聯合國永續發展目標第三項：確保各年齡層的健康與福祉。」完整信函請見：https://bit.ly/2WCodQj
It’s Day 8 of our #WHACountdown!
Each day we will share posts to support Taiwan’s participation in the upcoming #WHA and broader role in global health.
The International Press Institute (IPI), a global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists for press freedom, called on the World Health Organization to grant accreditation to Taiwanese journalists last month. In a letter to WHO Director General Tedros, IPI Executive Director Barbara Trionfi said the accreditation block hindered the flow of information on the coronavirus pandemic. “Health and the right to information transcend political and geographical boundaries”, Trionfi said. “We believe that by refusing accreditation to Taiwanese journalists and denying access to information to the people of Taiwan, the WHO is not just violating its founding principles but also undermining UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.” Read the letter here: https://bit.ly/2WCodQj
