World Health Day is celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO). So this event less than a week to celebrate and make some act. The only treasure of human is just health of their body. But just don't think yourself health, but think about the condition of health of anybody. You can try to act with some posts in your blog, or maybe spread this events to youyre friends. People must unite under one goal to reach purpose of World Health Day. We won't alone, because WHO always move with us.
In 1948, the World Health Organization held the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7th April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is celebrated to create “awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization (WHO)”. World Health Day 2009 focuses on the safety of health facilities and the readiness of health workers who treat those affected by emergencies. Health centres and staff are critical life-lines for vulnerable people in disasters - treating injuries, preventing illnesses and caring for people's health needs.
They are cornerstones for primary health care in communities – meeting everyday needs, such as safe childbirth services, immunizations and chronic disease care that must continue in emergencies. Often, already fragile health systems are unable to keep functioning through a disaster, with immediate and future public health consequences.
