World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April, and this weekend, countries around the world are hosting events to mark the occasion.
In today’s mobile, interdependent, and interconnected world, threats arising from emerging and epidemic-prone diseases, climate change, and natural disasters affect all countries.
This universal vulnerability creates a need for collective defences and for shared responsibility. Therefore, this year’s theme is international health security with a focus on urging governments, organizations and businesses to invest in health.
