World Health Day 2023

World Health Day takes place this Friday 7 April and on the same day, the World Health Organization (WHO) will observe its 75th anniversary.

In 1948, countries around the world came together and founded WHO to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health and wellbeing. WHO’s 75th anniversary year is an opportunity to look back at public health successes that have improved the quality of life during the last seven decades. It is also an opportunity to motivate action to tackle the health challenges of today – and tomorrow.
