World Heath Day It's #WorldHealthDay! In some cultures it’s traditional to make a wish on your birthday. Today, on our birthday, @WHO’s wish is for universal health coverage for everyone, everywhere. #HealthForAll April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day. From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, the celebration has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization. Over the past 50 years this has brought to light important health issues such as mental health, maternal and child care, and climate change. The celebration is marked by activities which extend beyond the day itself and serves as an opportunity to focus worldwide attention on these important aspects of global health Over the years the WHO has adopted various themes to mark the day. These themes have been- 2007: International health security 2008: Protecting health from the adverse effects of climate change 2009: Save lives, Make hospitals safe in emergencies 2010: Urbanization and health: make cities healthier 2011: Antimicrobial resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow 2012: Good health adds life to years 2013: Healthy heart beat, Healthy blood pressure 2014: Vector-borne diseases: small bite, big threat 2015: Food safety 2016: Halt the rise: beat diabetes 2017: Depression: Let's talk 2018: Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere 2019: Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere Today being another day to celebrate Health, the Universal health coverage is WHO’s number one goal. Key to achieving it is ensuring that everyone can obtain the care they need, when they need it, right in the heart of the community. I was privileged to go to the UNIBEN Health Centre April 2nd 2019 to take vaccination against tetanus and I was grateful because I didn't have to go far from my community to receive the free vaccination even though I am neither a staff nor student of the University. But it was coincidentally in this University I based my Undergraduate Final Year Project on Medical Negligence. A lot still has to be done with regards health care, workers and access. But millions of people still have no access at all to health care. Millions more are forced to choose between health care and other daily expenses such as food, clothing and even a home. This is why WHO is focusing on universal health coverage for this year’s World Health Day, on 7 April. I am pleased as a member of TLF to be concerned, involved, act and be vocal on issues relating to health as our theme for the entire month of April in TLF. *We acknowledge that most of the information shared above are referenced from the WHO website.* For more information on how you can be part of our activities and advocacy through charity and social development kindly send a message through- 08098598075 WhatsApp tinalovefoundation@gmail.com Email @Tlovefoundation Twitter Or visit us at our temporary Office/Centre TLF
