World Health Day
World Health Day is a global health awareness day that was established by the WHO (World Health Organization) on April 7th, 1948.
This day draws attention to global health issues, promotes and spreads awareness, and encourages actions towards improving health worldwide as well as achieving the UN SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals).
