WORLD HEALTH DAY 2018
World Health Day this year's theme is "Health for all"
Health For All means that health is to be brought within reach of everyone in a given country.
And by "health" is meant a personal state of well being, not just the availability of health services – a state of health that enables a person to lead a socially and economically productive life.
Health For All implies the removal of the obstacles to health – that is to say, the elimination of malnutrition, ignorance, contaminated drinking water and unhygienic housing – quite as much as it does the solution of purely medical problems such as a lack of doctors, hospital beds, drugs and vaccines.
World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship.
WHO asserts, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a “sound investment in their human capital”; but also “protects countries from epidemics, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger, drives economic growth.
