Previous World Health Days
History
In 1948, the First World Health
Assembly called for the creation of a "World Health Day". Since
1950, World Health Day has been celebrated on the 7th of April of each year.
The objective of World Health Day is to raise global awareness of a specific
health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health
Organization (WHO). The Day serves as a launch for a long-term advocacy
program for which activities will be undertaken and resources provided well
beyond 7 April.
