This year, the theme is ‘Our Planet, Our Health’.


Geneva: World Health Day is being celebrated today (7 April), to raise awareness about the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of a person.
Every year has a different theme for World Health Day to lay emphasis on a current health-related situation. This year, the theme is ‘Our Planet, Our Health’.
The theme can be anywhere between health-related issues, insurance, and more.
The first World Health Day was observed on 22 July but then the date was changed to the day of WHO's formation to encourage student participation.
Back in the year 1945, China and Brazil proposed the formation of an independent international health organization that shall be free from any governmental influence.
In 1946, it was in New York when the constitution for WHO was approved and it came into force on 7 April 1948 when 61 countries signed for its inception.
World Health Day encourages discussion on health-related issues and actions on an international level as it is one of the major campaigns of the WHO.
WHO makes sure to choose a pressing health issue for every year's World Health Day theme so that people are updated and keep learning about the health crisis or problems the world is facing.
World Health Day also works towards eliminating any stigma related to health issues so that people can talk about them openly without any shame and come forward to seek help and treatment.
