Every year, April 7th we celebrate World Health Day, which was established in 1948, soon after the World Health Organization was founded.
So each year we discuss the theme and we discuss the topic, which is of concern to the people all over the world. This year the theme is My Health, My Right. That means health is just not an absence of disease, it’s a state of physical, mental and social well-being.
This theme undermines the responsibilities of each and every individual to maintain or to have the rights of health to them. That means each and every individual’s responsibility and duty to raise the voice against war, conflict and terrorism. And also the right to health is more than the access to the quality health services and medicines.
Respect and dignity, free of discrimination, gender inequality, adequate sanitation and home, nutritious food, physical health issues, health education and need to access healthy food and encourage physical activities. Also limit the marketing and raise the taxes on unhealthy food and processed food. And cutting the consumption of processed food.
So these are the responsibilities that each and every one of us has to take care to achieve our theme My Health, My Right.
