World Health Day is a global awareness campaign calling on all nations, leaders, and officials to focus on a single global health challenge.
Commemorating the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948, this year the Day was marked under the theme, ‘Together for Science,’ celebrating the power of scientific collaboration to protect the health of people, animals, plants, and the planet.
Since its establishment, serving as the leading and coordinating authority on health within the United Nations system, it has led global health efforts, shaped research agendas, set standards, provided technical support to countries, and monitored and assessed health trends.
This year the World Health Organization (WHO) marked the One Health Summit in France, and the First Global Forum of WHO Collaborating Centres where over 800 scientific institutions from more than 80 countries participated.
These two events form the largest scientific network ever assembled around a UN agency, underscoring that science-led partnerships can build a healthier and safer future for all. The campaign calls on governments, scientists, health workers, partners and the public to support science by paying attention to evidence, facts and scientific guidance to protect health, rebuild trust in science and public health, support science-based solutions for a healthier future and chart a new course to protect the health of the planet.

It is the most important issue of the fundamental right of the people in their healthy life with safe, effective, timely-need.
