The World Health Day is a global
health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under
the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as
well as other related organisations.
In 1948, the WHO held the First World Health Assembly.
The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950,
as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO's founding,
and is seen as an opportunity by the organization to draw worldwide
attention to a subject of major importance to global health each
year. The WHO organizes international, regional and local events on
the Day related to a particular theme. World Health Day is acknowledged by
various governments and non-governmental organizations with interests
in public health issues, who also organize activities and highlight
their support in media reports, such as the Global Health Council.
