This Sunday (7th April), marks World Health Day – the 76th anniversary of the Constitution of the World Health Organization (WHO) coming into force.

This year’s theme for World Health Day is 'My health, my right’, reaffirming what WHO has affirmed since its birth on the 7th of April, 1948: that health is a right for all people, not a luxury.
