World Health Day 2018

April 7th 2018 is World Health Day, and this year the theme is “Universal health coverage: everyone, everywhere”. World Health Day is brought to us by the World Health Organisation (WHO), who believe that health is for all humankind, and that everyone should have access to the health services they need. Working in more than 150 countries, WHO collaborates with governments and other partners to ensure the highest attainable level of health for all people, to build a better, healthier future for people all over the world.

In the spirit of this years theme, WHO have put together a great campaign page, with tools, statistics, information and essential messages to guide and inspire us to act! They also have a guide on how you can get involved in this years World Health Day.
