Today, 7th April is celebrated as World Health Day all over the world. The main purpose behind celebrating this day is to bring awareness among the people about health services and to provide them with health services. This year, when the whole world is grappling with infection from the epidemic like Coronavirus, the importance of this day has increased even more, so this year's theme has also been made very important. Before knowing this, let us know its history.

WHO started celebrating 'World Health Day' from its foundation day i.e. 7 April 1950. Programs are organized around the world every year under the leadership of the WHO to raise awareness of health issues and problems.

Theme 2020: Every year this day is celebrated by choosing a specific theme. The theme of Health Day last year was 'Universal Health Coverage: Everyone, Everywhere'. Its objective was to spread health awareness globally and provide health services to all. This year we will celebrate the 72nd World Health Day. This time the WHO has tried to honour the contribution of nurses and midwives who are playing a vital role in keeping the world healthy against the battle of Covid-19. For this, WHO has kept the theme #SupportNursesAndMidWives.

Nurses and other health workers are working day and night to save the lives of those infected with Covid-19, putting their health at risk. Compared to more than two-thirds of health workers, the contribution of nurses is also quite significant. The year 2020 has been designated as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife (International Year of the Nurse and Midwives) by the WHO. In such a situation, 'World Health Day' is a special occasion to highlight the work of nursing and midwives across the world. It is also necessary to do so because this workforce is one of the valuable and important resources of the medical department of every country. Today, these nurses and midwives have no less contribution in the way the doctors of the country and the world are engaged to win the battle of Coronavirus.
