World Health Day
Listen to the World Health Organization and begin taking steps to improve your health: join a gym, start taking vitamins, or get outside on World Health Day.
World Health Day is celebrated every year on the anniversary of the founding day of the World Health Organization. It’s a day to focus on and raise awareness around health issues that affect people all over the globe.
So get ready to learn about and celebrate World Health Day!
History of World Health Day
The history of World Health Day is directly linked to the formation of the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization is an agency of the United Nations that focuses on the public health of the world at large. The WHO has a constitution that countries involved in the United Nations had an opportunity to sign, and unanimously did, agreeing to the tenets laid out within to promote the general health of the globe.
Established in 1950, World Health Day is an important event that includes a theme each year that is meant to draw attention to a current health issue in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has 194 member states who are tasked with putting together regional, local, and international events on this day related to the particular health theme. Local governments also tend to jump on this band-wagon of promoting health issues. After all, global health means everyone on the planet!
The World Health Organization has been involved in mobilizing many health efforts all over the world for the past 70 years by describing what medicines are essential for public health and which diseases to give a particular focus to.
One important success of the WHO was the movement to eradicate smallpox. It started in 1958, initiated by pressure from Viktor Zhdanov, the Deputy Minister of Health for the then USSR. In just over 20 years, in 1979, the WHO declared that smallpox had in fact been eradicated, making it the first disease in history to be eliminated by the dedicated efforts of humans working together from all over the globe.
Through the efforts of this organization, the world has seen the eradication of smallpox, and its focus then turned to communicable diseases, with a particular focus on tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. The World Health Organization has also played an important role in the experience of the global pandemic caused by the coronavirus.
Each year, World Health Day focuses on a particular theme. Themes throughout the years have varied, but they always cover important issues of the day, including everything from the Global Polio Eradication and staying active while aging, to road safety. All of these issues have been deemed to be important enough to global health that they merited an occasion of their very own on this date.
Some other themes worth noting have included:
Our Planet, Our Health
Building a Fairer, Healthier World
Support Nurses and Midwives
and
Health for All: Everyone, Everywhere
World Health Day Timeline
1945 United Nations is founded
When meeting to found the UN after World War II, the conversation begins about the need for a global health organization.
1948 First World Health Assembly is held
The World Health Organization holds the first World Health Assembly, which is the highest health policy setting body on the globe.
1949 First World Health Day is celebrated
Taking place on July 22, this day is held in honor of the signature of the 61 nations who signed the WHO charter.
1950 World Health Day is moved to April 7
To commemorate the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO), the World health day is held on April 7.
2022 World Health Day theme: Our planet, our health
Each year the day employs a different theme and the theme for 2022 is related to taking care of the environment.
How to Celebrate World Health Day
Celebrating and observing World Health Day can be done by individuals, families, schools, churches and other community organizations. It’s a great time to connect with others over important themes. Try out some of these ideas to get started with celebrating and enjoying the day:
Care for Your Family’s Health
On this day many people may choose to take some extra steps to care for their own personal health and the health of their families. This is a great time to consider getting a gym membership (and going!), starting a plan for healthier eating, or beginning to take multivitamins. It’s always a good time to take steps toward being healthier personally.
Get Involved with World Health Day Events
Everyone can take a hand in improving the overall health of the world, just by starting with themselves, their family, and their community. Even better than just making it personal is making it all about the surrounding community!
This is the ideal time to get involved with the local events related to World Health Day. Or if it is difficult to find something that is already organized, many people might take the initiative and organize a WHD even themselves. Perform a search to see what types of events have been created by organizations or hospitals in the local community, then volunteer to help or attend. Blood banks are often taking volunteers to help out with their efforts, and the ability to have healthy, fresh blood on hand is central to saving many lives.
Share World Health Day with Others
Spreading the news of health and threats to the same can be an excellent way to celebrate this day. Use this time to get connected and inform others of the important issue of global health. Whether making a campaign to raise awareness at the office or at school, printing posters, inviting others to a lecture or gathering, or simply telling a friend, this is a great time to use that sphere of influence for good.
Learn About the Current World Health Day Theme
Everyone needs to be concerned about the health of themselves and their community and, as such, it’s a good time for everyone to turn their attention to this year’s theme. By checking in at the World Health Day website, it’s possible to find out what the current theme is, as well as accessing all sorts of plans, resources and activities that will help raise awareness about this important issue. Make it a family, school or community tradition to keep up with it every year, and play a big part in helping to promote global health all around!
Organize World Health Day Fundraisers
Celebrating World Health Day is very important, and it can be used to organize fund-raisers to support local free clinics and other public health sources. Get some friends, family members or coworkers on board and host a charity event. Join a walk or run to raise awareness and funds, or simply make a personal donation to a worthy cause that helps promote the health of the people of the world.
Learn More About Local Health
Another opportunity for celebrating World Health Day is also to take the task at home, by getting to know the local environment and property, and eliminating all possible sources of standing water. Standing water is a breeding ground for insects such as mosquitos, who spread disease by consuming the blood of its hosts, and moving from victim to victim, spreading it as it goes. So this year, take some time to spread the word about how neighbors and the local community can contribute to the improvement of the world’s health, on World Health Day!

World Health Day
How to stay healthy in 10 ways:
1. Make Specific Objectives: Decide what you are hoping to accomplish, whether it's decreasing weight, growing muscle, increasing strength, or just keeping good health.
2. Develop a Balanced Diet: Eat a range of high in nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and healthy fats. Beware of unnecessary junk food, sweets, and high-fat foods.
3. Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Use smaller plates, measure serving sizes, and listen to your body's hunger cues.
4. Remain Hydrated: Drink enough of water throughout the day to keep your body well-hydrated and functioning properly.
5. Consistent Exercise: Go for 150 minutes or more each week of moderate-to-intense physical activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-to-intense aerobic activity, plus two or more days of exercises that build muscles.
6. Variety in Workouts: Incorporate a mix of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, flexibility exercises, and balance activities to target different muscle groups and improve overall fitness.
7. Sleep and Healing: Give your body time to recuperate between workouts to avoid injury and stimulate new muscle development. Go for 7-9 hours of good sleep every night.
8. Reduce Stress: For good mental health, try stress-reduction activities like contemplation, deep breaths, stretching, or interests.
9. Restrict Alcohol and Tobacco Use: To lower your chance of serious illnesses while improving a healthy lifestyle, decrease your alcohol intake and avoid smoking or using tobacco products.
10. Frequent Check-ups: Make regular appointments with a doctor for diagnostic tests, vaccines, and to evaluate the state of your health.
Keep in mind regularity is important for seeing benefits. Pay attention to your body, make simple adjustments, and acknowledge your accomplishments along the way.

Statement by the Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, on the occasion of the World Health Day 2024; April 7th.
As declared by the United Nations General Assembly in July of 2022, all people have the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. The fulfillment of this right is necessary for the full enjoyment of a wide range of human rights, including the rights to health, food, and water. And it requires that we protect nature. Our health depends on nature, or biodiversity, in so many ways. The variety of plants, animals and microorganisms provides us with essential medicines and nutritious food. Wetlands, forests, and other
ecosystems regulate the climate and protect the supply and quality of water. Urban green and blue spaces support our physical and mental health. But we are losing biodiversity faster than ever before. This loss threatens the multiple contributions of nature to our health. It increases the risk of disease, including pandemics, and our exposure air and water pollution and to extreme events. Children, women, and the elderly are especially vulnerable. Biodiversity loss also has severe adverse impacts on the health of indigenous peoples and their unique interdependent relationship with local ecosystems, impacting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (the Biodiversity Plan) was agreed by all countries to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by 2030. Its four goals aim to protect and restore
nature, to prosper with nature, to share benefits fairly, and to invest and collaborate for nature. This Biodiversity Plan is underpinned by a human rights approach, and it recognizes that the health of humans, animals and plants, wild and domestic, and the integrity of ecosystems are all linked and interdependent. Achieving the goals and targets of the Plan is essential to realize our right to health. We must all be part of the Plan.
This World Health Day, as we promote “My health, my right”, lets us all be part of the Plan. Let us redouble our efforts to protect life on earth. Our health and that of future generations depends on it.
Mr.David Cooper, CBD Executive Secretary.
