‘World Health Day’ Being Celebrated Across Globe

WEB DESK: Countries around the World including Pakistan are celebrating ‘World Health Day’ with goals to prevail the universal health coverage across the globe.

The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated annually on 7 April, under the main sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO).

It is one of eight official global health 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.

Main aim to celebrate the day is to ensure that everyone can obtain the care they need, when they need it, right in the heart of the community.

Progress is being made in countries in all regions of the world but yet millions of people still have no access at all to health care.

Millions more are forced to choose between health care and other daily expenses such as food, clothing and even a home.

This is why WHO is focusing on universal health coverage for this year’s World Health Day, on 7 April.
