World health day is held every year on the 7th of April. World Health Day (WHD) is what it is today because of the World Health Organization (WHO) and is celebrated to mark the organizations founding; as well to draw worldwide attention to public health issues. I believe WHD is definitely something important in not only our community but worldwide because we often times forget what’s going on around us and to have WHD can remind me and those around me that there are problems everywhere and something needs to change. I took a look at the WHO website and there is a lot of information from news around the world to recent discoveries of vaccines in the Congo. Overall WHD is very new and amazing to me but there is still the lack of outreach to address when this day actually is. If it were addressed more than it is now, more people would know about WHD; leading to realization and information to issues in our community and world.
