HISTORY OF WORLD HEALTH DAY
To talk about World Health Day, we need to talk about the creation
of the World Health Organization as a whole. In December 1945,
officials of Brazil and China proposed the creation of an international
health organization, that is all-encompassing and absolutely independent
from any government powers.
Half a year later, in New York, in July 1946, the constitution of the
World Health Organization was approved. Said constitution entered
into force on April 7, 1948, as 61 countries signed in agreement for
the inception of the NGOs.
As one of the first official acts of WHO, they created the celebration
of World Health Day. It was first observed on July 22, 1949, but the
date was later changed to April 7, the establishment of WHO, to encourage
student participation.
Since 1950, the Worth Health Day uses a different theme and theme each
year selected by the current WHO Director-General, based on the
suggestions of the member governments and staff.
World Health Day provides a global opportunity to focus attention on
important public health issues that affect the international community.
On the occasion of World Health Day, promotional programs are
launched that continue for a long time after April 7.
