World Health Day

World Health Day is held every year on April 7th. It is a worldwide health awareness day sponsored by the World Health Organization. Today is the anniversary of the World Health Organization’s foundation in 1948. Every year, World Health Day focuses on a certain health issue that the WHO considers to be a priority area.

The topics have been chosen to raise awareness about critical global health challenges and to organize action to solve them. Previous topics have included mental health, universal health coverage, and the value of nurses and midwives. World Health Day is an occasion to advocate for healthier practices and boost initiatives to improve global health outcomes.
