On this World Health Day, April 7, the World Health Organization (WHO) marks its 70th anniversary. World Health Day this year will focus on one of WHO’s founding principles: “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.”
The World Heath Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on the 7th of April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization ( WHO ).
It is a known and popular saying that health is wealth; regardless of the amount of cash you have stashed in your account, a deficient health is tantamount to poverty.
The theme of this year’s celebration of global health is “Good Health Adds Life To Years”.
WHO as an international body is saddled with the responsibility to help people around the world attain the highest possible standard of health.
It also collaborates with governments, organisations and communities to provide access to responsive health care, and give recommendations to policy wonks that can help deliver better and more effective health care system.
