World Health Day 2020

April 7 was World Health Day. Amidst this lockdown, we still found a day to celebrate it. Click to find out how…

April 7, was World Health Day. It is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on April 7, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organisations.

The tagline of this year’s World Health Day was ‘Support nurses and midwives’. The day was dedicated to celebrate the work of nurses and midwives, and remind world leaders of the critical role they play in keeping the world healthy. More than any other day, the tagline is very crucial right now due to the support and bravery that has been shown by these real-life heroes during the pandemic of COVID- 19. So, thank the doctors, nurses, midwives, and all other health workers you know and you meet. Provide them emotional and mental support, as and how you can. They are helping hundreds of people right now without putting their personal needs on priority.
