World Health Day 2022: History and Significance
The day marks the anniversary of the World Health Organisation, which was established on April 7, 1948.
In 1948, the first World Health Assembly was convened by the World Health Organisation, which called for the establishment of a "World Health Day". On April 7, 1950, the first World Health Day was observed and since then it has been celebrated every year. The main aim of the day is to spread awareness about a certain health topic to highlight a World Health Organisation priority area of concern. The day also focuses on contemporary health issues that require immediate attention with various themes.
Therefore, it is correctly said "Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.” - Anne Wilson Schaef
