Most social holidays have a fixed date. The similar tendency is explained quite simply - they are devoted to certain events. The date of the Health Day has also remained unchanged for 69 years.
Important! World Health Day 2020 will be April 7th.
The date was not chosen by chance. It is dedicated to the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO). This event, which occurred in 1948, was important for humanity. In the post-war period, the lack of medicines and medical personnel, unsanitary conditions, hunger and other factors led to the spread of epidemics. The creation of WHO made it possible to approach the solution of important issues at the international level. 197 states joined the organization, including the Soviet Union.
History of occurrence
The idea of holding a Health Day came to WHO immediately after education. In 1948-1949 it was celebrated on July 22. The date was associated with the adoption of the Charter - the main document regulating the activities of the organization. Since 1950, events began to be held on April 7, the day the WHO was founded.
1995 was a turning point in the development of the holiday. Until that time, all activities were carried out only by the World Organization, but after that the UN Secretary General began to provide support. In addition, it was decided to devote annual Health Day to a specific topic. Over the years, questions have been raised regarding the treatment and prevention of poliomyelitis, diabetes, high blood pressure, infectious diseases, and mental health diseases. The social holiday was also devoted to the environmental situation, medicines, road safety, food products, etc.
