World Health Day is celebrated annually and each year draws attention to a specific health topic of concern to people all over the world. The date of 7 April marks the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948.

Every year on April 7, World Health Day is celebrated to mark the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO). We must discuss the founding of the World Health Organization in order to discuss World Health Day. Brazilian and Chinese government representatives put out the idea of establishing a global, totally autonomous body for health in December 1945. The World Health Organization's charter was ratified in July 1946 in New York, which was six months after the founding date. As 61 nations agreed to the creation of the NGO, the aforementioned constitution came into effect on April 7, 1948. This global health observance day is a time to reflect on the state of our world's health and to consider ways we can work together to improve it. It was first celebrated in 1948, and since then has been an opportunity to highlight different issues and challenges related to global health each year. The goal is to raise awareness about the importance of everyone having access to essential health services without facing financial hardship.
