World Health Day 2023: Every year on April 7, World Health Day is celebrated around the world. It marks the founding of the WHO in 1948. The purpose of the event is to promote the physical, mental and emotional well-being of people.
What is the message of World Health 2023?
Each year the World Health Organization chooses a specific topic relevant to the medical and wellness field. This year’s World Health Day will focus on the theme “Health for all.” The WHO says this year’s theme does not imply that diseases will come to an end or that all people will receive medical care. It implies that health resources are allocated fairly and that everyone has access to basic medical treatment.
WHO will commemorate its 75th anniversary under the theme 75 years of public health promotion, in addition to this year’s theme. According to the official WHO website, “WHO’s 75th anniversary year is an opportunity to remember the public health successes that have improved the quality of life over the past seven decades. It is also an opportunity to motivate action to address the health challenges of today and tomorrow.”

Why is World Health Day celebrated?
Every year on April 7, the World Health Organization celebrates World Health Day (WHD), which commemorates the organization’s founding. In December 1945, government representatives from Brazil and China proposed the establishment of a fully independent global health organization.
To promote health, maintain global security and help the weak, governments around the world came together to form the WHO in 1948. This was done so that everyone, everywhere could achieve the best health and well-being.
The establishment of World Health Day was one of the organization’s first formal initiatives. It was first commemorated on July 22, 1949, but to encourage student participation, the date was later changed to April 7, the day the World Health Organization was founded.
World Health Day is one of the WHO’s eight official global health campaigns, advocating for action on a global scale. By choosing a different theme each year, World Health Day ensures that everyone is aware of today’s pressing health issue. It is also an important day to reflect on your own health, as awareness-raising activities and conversations help reduce the stigma associated with the disease and prompt more people to seek support and treatment.
In the year 2022, the Ministry of Ayush organized a grand program called Yoga Mahotsav at Lal Quila (Red Fort) Delhi. The event was attended by several Union Ministers, Members of Parliament, Ambassadors of various countries posted in Delhi, prominent sports celebrities and also yoga gurus.
