What is the theme of World Health Day in 2023?
1948 In June, the World Health Organization was established at the first United Nations World Health Assembly held in Geneva. At the meeting, it was decided to designate April 7th every year as World Health Day, and various countries launched various commemorative activities. On April 7, 2023, the theme of World Health Day was determined as "seventy-five years of improving public health", aiming at commemorating the public health achievements in improving the quality of life of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization and inspiring people to take action to meet the health challenges of today and tomorrow.
The year 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the World Health Organization and World Health Day. It is of great commemorative significance to set the publicity theme of World Health Day in 2023 as "seventy-five years of public health improvement".
The development history of World Health Day is as follows:
1946 On July 22nd, the United Nations Economic and Social Council held the first International Health Assembly in new york, and representatives of more than 60 countries signed the Charter of the World Health Organization, which came into effect on April 7th, 1948. To commemorate the adoption day of the organization's charter, the World Health Organization was formally established at the first United Nations World Health Assembly held in Geneva in June 1948, and decided to designate July 22nd as World Health Day every year, encouraging countries to hold various commemorative activities.
The following year, the Second World Health Assembly decided from 1950 that April 7th would be the global "World Health Day". Considering that schools in most countries have summer holidays in July every year, they cannot participate in this celebration. Since 1950, the World Health Organization has chosen a theme for World Health Day every year, highlighting the key areas of concern of WHO.
