What is the origin of World Health Day?

To commemorate 1946 on July 22nd, the Constitution of the World Health Organization signed by 6 1 countries was formally adopted. The first World Health Assembly (June-July, 1948) decided to take July 22nd every year as "World Health Day" and advocated various commemorative activities in various countries. 1948 On April 7, the Charter of the United Nations World Health Organization came into effect. Considering that educational institutions and schools in most countries have holidays, the Second World Health Assembly decided to take April 7th (the date when the Organic Law came into effect) as World Health Day from 1950, and chose a theme related to the public health field for the annual Health Day, aiming at improving the world's understanding of a certain health field. During World Health Day, WHO member countries held celebrations to publicize and popularize health knowledge and improve people's health. Theme of World Health Day over the years

Mothers and children are the foundation of family and society, and their health even determines the development process of society. In order to make our offspring have healthy bodies, we must protect the health of mothers and children from now on.

According to WHO survey data, pregnancy and childbirth are one of the most important causes of death among women of childbearing age in developing countries. Every year, more than 500,000 women die during pregnancy or childbirth, and one in every 12 children dies before the age of 5. According to the Millennium Development Goals set in 2000, the international community promised to reduce the maternal mortality rate by three quarters and the infant mortality rate by two thirds by 2065. WHO acknowledges that although individual developing countries have succeeded in significantly reducing maternal and infant mortality, overall, this goal is still far from being achieved.

WHO paid attention to women and children on World Health Day in 2005, with the main purpose of emphasizing the health of pregnant women, newborns and children, and urging families, social groups, professional associations, the government and the international community to take positive actions to vigorously promote the health services for women and children by reinterpreting the health problems of pregnant women, newborns and children.
