Health is the greatest possession that deserves to be treasured throughout life. To celebrate health, World Health Day is commemorated every year on the 7th of April across the world to raise awareness about good health and the well-being of people. World Health Day also marks the anniversary of the foundation of WHO in 1948. The World Health Organization uses its foundation day to highlight current global health as a priority as well as to honour the organisation and its work over the years.
World Health Day is one of the eight official global health annual campaigns marked by WHO, along with World Tuberculosis Day, World Immunization Week, World Malaria Day, World No Tobacco Day, World AIDS Day, World Blood Donor Day, and World Hepatitis Day.
Each year, World Health Day is celebrated with a specific theme. Last year in 2021, the theme was “Build a Fairer, Healthier World”, and this year the theme is “Our Planet, Our Health”. This year WHO is focussing on taking urgent actions to keep humans and the planet healthy and fostering a campaign to create societies that know the importance of healthy living.
Climate and health crises are driven by political, social, and commercial decisions. Over 90% of individuals are exposed to polluted air as a result of the excess usage and burning of fossil fuels. Extreme weather conditions, land degradation, and water affect well-being. Pollution and plastics have found their way into our food chain and can be discovered at the bottom of our deepest oceans and tallest mountains. Systems that create highly processed, unhealthy foods and drinks are fueling an obesity epidemic, increasing cancer and heart diseases. Hence the theme “Our Planet, Our Health” is relevant considering the gravity of toxicity in the environment over the past few years.
Through this theme, World Health Organization urges governments and the public to share the steps they are taking to protect the planet and their health to make this world a better place to live in.
