World Health Day 2026

• World Health Day is observed on April 7th to raise awareness about global health issues.

• The World Health Organization was established on this very day in 1948.

• This year, the theme for World Health Day is "United for Health: Stand with Science."

• This theme highlights the importance of scientific collaboration in addressing global health challenges.

• Every year, 300,000 women die due to pregnancy-related complications, and 4 million infants die or are stillborn—many of which are preventable.

• This amounts to one preventable death every seven seconds.
