Health is the greatest wealth man can possess, people say. To keep body and mind free of ailments is not only a good practice, but also an individual’s responsibility towards oneself and society. Realizing the importance of being healthy, we celebrate April 7 as World Health Day.
The World Health Organization started the observation of World Health Day from 1950. It was held to mark the beginning of the WHO. For the organization, the observation was an opportunity to draw each year worldwide attention to the subject of personal and global health.
There is considerable interest among nations across the globe in acknowledging and celebrating World Health Day. Various governments and non-governmental organizations organize awareness related activities and highlight their support to healthy living in media reports.
Health does not merely mean being physically fit and devoid of any illnesses. It means the overall well-being of a person. World Health Day intends to spread this message to people across the world.
