Let us know about the history and importance of this day.
World Health Day 2023: History
World Health Day was started as the day of the foundation of WHO. In 1948, the nations of the world came together to establish the WHO to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable, so that everyone everywhere can stay healthy and receive the highest level of care. Two years later, in 1950, the first World Health Day was celebrated on 7 April and since then it is celebrated every year on this day.
World Health Day 2023: Theme
Every year, World Health Day is celebrated with a unique theme. WHO has decided to celebrate it this year with the theme "Health for All". This year's theme reflects the thought that health is a basic human right and everyone should have access to health services when and where they need it, regardless of financial difficulties.
This year also marks WHO's 75th anniversary, so to make the day special, WHO will also look at public health breakthroughs that have improved the quality of life over the past seven decades.
World health status according to WHO
1. 30 percent of the world's population has not been able to access essential health services to date.
2. Two billion people are deprived of health facilities because they do not have money to spend on health.
