The theme for World Health Day 2024 is 'My health, my right’.

The year 2024 marks the 76th anniversary of WHO and as a part of celebration WHO has chosen 'My Health, My Right' as the theme of World Health Day 2024 which focuses on the fundamental human right: access to quality health care, education and information. 

Established in 1950, the day also commemorates founding of World Health Organisation, a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to international public health. World Health Day is aimed at raising awareness about global health issues and encourage people to live healthier. 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.
