Inclusive Engagement and World Health Day

World Health Day, observed on April 7th each year, is a global health awareness day under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO). Since its inception in 1948, World Health Day has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the WHO. The day provides an opportunity for individuals and organizations worldwide to engage in activities that can lead to better health outcomes. Inclusive engagement in the celebration and acknowledgment of World Health Day ensures that diverse perspectives and needs are recognized and addressed, making health equity and access a reality for everyone.
