About World Health Day:
World Health Day is celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship
of the World Health Organization (WHO).
In 1948, the World Health Organization
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. Resources provided continue beyond 7 April, that is, the
designated day for celebrating the World Health Day.
World Health Day 2019 | 7 April | UNIVERSAL HEALTH: EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE
Universal Health means that all people have access, without any kind of discrimination, to comprehensive quality services, wherever they need them, without facing financial difficulties. It requires the definition and implementation of policies and actions with a multisectoral approach to address the social determinants of health and promote the commitment of the whole society with health and well-being. Universal health is not just about ensuring everyone is covered, but that everyone has access to care when they need it, wherever they are.
