World Health Day 2023: WHO (World Health Organization ie World Health Organization) celebrates April 7 every year as World Health Day. According to WHO, health is not just about eating healthy, but it is also necessary to ensure that how the world can come together to help everyone live a long and healthy life. Along with making discoveries in the field of medicine, new drugs, and new vaccines, increasing awareness among people about health issues is also a priority of the World Health Organization. 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.

 

3. Around 930 million people worldwide are spending 10 percent or more of their household budget on health, making their financial condition worse.

 

Data released by WHO has highlighted another growing health crisis in India and that is obesity and anemia. According to the report, now twice the number of women than men are getting affected by anemia. On the other hand, if we look at the statistics in terms of obesity, obesity among women has increased from 21 percent in 2015-16 to 24 percent in 2019-20. Apart from these, it has been said in the report that there is an increase in obesity among children in major states of India including Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
