Today is world’s health day. It is an annual awareness- raising day organized by World Health’s Organization (WHO). Each year it has different theme, this year’s is beat diabetes.
History
After UN was formed in 1945, it was decided that a global health organization should be formed.
So, WHO was set up on April 7th, 1948. So, this day is basically the birthday of WHO on which awareness is spread among people regarding an important global issue. Which brings us to this year’s them i.e. beat diabetes.
