It was established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948 and has been celebrated every year since then.
Theme of World Health Day 2024 :
The theme for this year's World Health Day 'My health, my right' highlights that getting access to essential health services should no longer be a privilege but one's right. As per The WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All, at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution, yet countries are not passing and putting into practice laws to ensure their populations are entitled to access health services.
