The observance of World Health Day 2025 was recently held.
Since 1950, World Health Day has been commemorated annually on April 7, aiming to raise public consciousness around key global health concerns and to promote the importance of leading a healthy life.
This date also signifies the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO), which came into existence in 1948.
Each year, a specific health-related theme is chosen to focus global attention on pressing public health priorities identified by the WHO.
- Theme for 2025: “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures” – emphasizing the importance of early health interventions and nurturing environments for long-term well-being.
- Previous Year’s Theme (2024): “My Health, My Right” – highlighting the right to access quality healthcare and health services as a fundamental human right.
