World Health Day 2022 <\/strong>took place on the 7th of April. Nonetheless, its importance should be carried around throughout the year. The date was first celebrated in 1950. And, it has since then helped bring forward issues of concern in the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 marked the year for building a \u2018healthier and fairer world\u2019. This year, it is all about universal health coverage. So, we are going to share with you all you need to know about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is World Health Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

World Health Day <\/strong>is an important celebration that has set the tone for a global agenda on healthcare. But before talking about it, it is important to understand where it originated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Health Organization (WHO) was created in 1948 under a constitution and agreement signed by over 60 countries. One of the first initiatives carried out by it was the creation of a World Health Day. Firstly celebrated in July 1949, which was then changed to April 7th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intention was to create a day to raise awareness around determined key topics. Fostering in governments and private companies the willingness to work towards imposed goals. Improving, in that way, universal healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In sum, every year a theme is proposed by government members and staff, and selected by the WHO Director-General in office. From there, governments and organizations are given the opportunity to work on important issues that affect international communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
