World Health Day

Sincere congratulations go to nurses, doctors, midwives, resuscitators, and emergency medical teams on World Health Day, celebrated on April 7. The holiday was established on the initiative of the World Health Organization. It is a great opportunity to express appreciation and gratitude to those who invariably help people in trouble, facing serious illnesses and injuries. Health and physical well-being are important to everyone.

History

At the end of 1945, representatives from Latin American and Eastern regions took the initiative to create an independent World Health Organization. Six months later, the institution had its own charter and began working closely with the international community on pressing health issues. The day of the organization’s foundation became a holiday starting in 1950.

Interesting Facts

This holiday draws attention to the issue of accessibility to high-quality, timely medical care for all citizens in all countries. Special priority is given to those who lack the financial means to pay for expensive procedures and special treatments in private clinics. The primary aim of the organization is to provide opportunities for medical care through free clinics for the poor.

1. Seminars and other activities are held at educational institutions (schools, colleges, and universities). Discussion forums are also organized.
2. Sports events are organized, and charities collect donations, with funds going to the treatment of serious diseases.
3. Fast-food restaurants often participate by offering menu changes, with the dish of the day made exclusively from healthy ingredients, prepared in a healthy way—boiled or steamed.

Attention is also given to people working with mental health issues, which are a significant problem due to the daily stress levels of modern life. Appreciate your doctors’ work—it is extremely important in a dangerous world.
