World Health Day marks the founding of WHO. It is the Organization's most visible effort to raise awareness of a key global health issue selected each year. The First World Health Assembly created the event in 1948 and it has been celebrated on 7 April annually since 1950. WHO organizes international, regional and local events on the Day and throughout the year to highlight the selected priority health area.
In 2008, World Health Day is dedicated to the theme "Protecting health from climate change." The theme was selected in recognition that climate change is posing ever growing threats to global public health security.
A range of activities in every country will aim to stimulate active, long-term involvement. World Health Day 2008 offers an opportunity to revitalize political commitment to address climate change.
