When is World Health Day?
Friday April 7thWorld Health Day is the worldwide recognition of health as a human right. We all play a part in our personal health and the well-being of those around us, from healthcare professionals to policymakers, families with young children or elderly, and grandparents with young children or seniors.
As new first-world resources begin to improve the overall quality of life for the masses, one key contributing factor to these advancements is the ability to have consistent access to them.
No matter where we live, science is continually improving the duration and quality of our lives. It's only right for us to want all people to have access to these advancements. Thousands of people are killed each year by preventable diseases simply due to geographical limitations.
More people are active, productive, and disease-free lives can be happier as a result of affordable healthcare. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), healthcare spending pushes 100 million people into extreme poverty each year due to out-of-pocket spending.
The World Health Organization uses this observance to announce the World Health Statistics Report. This is an annual publication of health information spanning a variety of topics, from infant and child health to environmental hazards. In addition, the study includes statistics on the evolution of universal health care.
