World Health Day is celebrated every year on the 7th of April to remember the anniversary of the founding of the WHO in 1948. The theme for World Health Day 2022 is “Our planet, our health”. On this day, WHO will focus on necessary actions to keep humans and the planet healthy and promote a movement to create societies focused on well-being.
