#LIVE2.0 #Review
Celebrated for the past 71 years, the World Health Day is held on April 7 each year to commemorate the founding of the World Health Organization. World Health Day is one of the eight global health campaigns celebrated by the World Health Organization. The day is celebrated by all member countries of the World Health Organization, with international, regional and local events held at different levels.
Every year, World Health Day raises awareness and brings attention to a different global health concern. This year, the focus of World Health Day is Universal Health Coverage. The day is of vital importance as it presents an opportunity for people and organizations throughout the world to make a contributing impact on the issue of global health. This year’s World Health Day tagline is:
Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere
According to data estimates by WHO, at least half of the world’s population does not have access to essential health care services. The World Health Day includes health marches, campaigns, conferences, panel discussions, and charity events held throughout the world to raise awareness of different health issues and call to action for the governments and other health authorities and agencies.
The goal of World Health Day 2019 is to improve the understanding of universal health care and the importance of primary health care while working in collaboration with policymakers, healthcare workers, and others towards universally available health care.
The World Health Organization is an independent body that works towards the promotion of global healthcare, safety and for serving those without a voice. The World Health Organization held the first-ever World Health Assembly in 1948. This Assembly decided that April 7 would be marked as the World Health Day, and be celebrated annually. The day not only raises awareness on different health topics but also marks the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization.
Since its formation WHO has played an important role in working towards a healthier and disease-free planet Earth. The World Health Organization has made significant progress towards raising awareness on different health issues and called on various governments and organizations to work towards a healthier future. In the previous years, action has been taken against the global polio epidemic, against infectious diseases, towards safer motherhood practices, mental health, healthy living for children, international health security, urbanization, food safety, and universal health coverage.
The theme of the World Health Day becomes the agenda of WHO for that respective year.
The World Health Day falls between the Global Conference on Primary Health Care, held in Astana, Kazakhstan in October 2018, and the United Nations High-Level Meeting (UN HLM) on Universal Health Coverage to be held in September 2019. These events are an excellent opportunity for the PAHO and WHO to come together to focus on their missions towards healthier living and well-being.
The World Health Organization has allocated a specific day for the celebration of universal health and well-being to raise awareness on different topics. The day offers a single platform that allows different governments and organizations to come together and make their respective contribution towards public health issues. April 7 marks the day that opens the doors for WHO to educate the masses and take more action towards an efficient health sector.
The World Health Organization provides an extensive resource list and materials for the World Health Day campaigns. The WHO encourages everyone, organizations and individuals alike, to become a part of their mission towards healthier living.
For an organization, the employees must work towards a sustainable and healthy future. Stepping on-board WHO’s goal for health care in 2019 can help organizations and companies spread the message and educate people. Here are a few fun activities you can follow to contribute towards better health for the world.

Allocating an entire day for the celebration of health and healthcare to raise awareness regarding different health issues is an efficient practice. This practice helps create a global platform, which allows countries all across the world to create a dialogue regarding public health issues and come up with new strategies and techniques to improve the current health crisis in the world.
The numerous days dedicated to different health issues and concerns help educate the masses, raise awareness and signify the importance of the problem. By spreading awareness and education regarding a health topic, WHO hopes to mobilize more action in the public health sector to improve access to healthcare and health resources for everyone.
Universal access to healthcare should be a concern for countries, governments, and organizations, alike. Healthcare is a universal human right and should not be counted as a privilege. Organizations such as WHO are tirelessly working towards the betterment of the world, to help their fellow human beings. We can play our part for the betterment of humanity, by becoming a part of different health campaigns and events and contribute towards a healthier future.
