Health for all - World health day

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.
