TODAY IS WORLD HEALTH DAY

TODAY IS WORLD HEALTH DAY.


The World Health Day 2015 is today April 07. It is celebrated every
year 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 is acknowledged by various governments and
non-governmental organizations with interests in public health
isssues, who also organize activities and highlight their support
in media reports.
The WHO's constitution states that its objective "is the
attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health."
