World Health Day 2024

World Health Day is celebrated every year on April 7th. This day tries to raise awareness about health issues faced by people around the world. It also tries to find proper solutions to these health issues. It also marks the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO).

World Health Organisation (WHO) is an agency that deals with major health issues around the world. In 1945, the idea to create an international health organisation was taken. World Health Day has been celebrated annually since 1950, following the establishment of the World Health Organisation on April 7, 1948.

In 2024, the theme of the World Health Day is “My health, my right.” According to a study done in 2021, almost half of the world’s population does not have access to proper healthcare. To solve this problem, this specific theme has been chosen this year. 

World Health Day inspires people, organisations, and governments to take major steps toward improving health outcomes. This day is celebrated by holding vaccination drives, health campaigns and other efforts to make sure that people are provided with the proper healthcare.
