World Health Day, on April 7th, is an essential date on the global health calendar.

From its beginning, the World Health Organization (WHO) has dedicated this day to raising awareness and mobilizing action towards improving health and wellness globally.

This year's World Health Day theme is “My Health, My Right" which defines the importance of universal health coverage and the shared responsibility to ensure the well-being of every individual and community.
