World Health Day is a global initiative observed every year on April 7th by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about pressing health challenges worldwide. The WHO selects a theme for each World Health Day to focus on a specific health issue. The theme for World Health Day 2023 is 'Building a Fairer, Healthier World', highlighting the fundamental human right of health equity and accessibility. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the theme emphasizes the urgent need for collective efforts towards ensuring quality healthcare services accessible to everyone regardless of their socioeconomic status. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has put immense pressure on healthcare systems worldwide and highlighted vulnerabilities, especially in low-income countries, where access to healthcare services is limited.

 Each annual World Health Day serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting health and wellbeing globally, focusing on critical themes and issues. It is an opportunity for global solidarity and support for healthcare systems in low-income countries, and collective efforts towards building a fairer, healthier world. Let us all play our part in helping achieve this fundamental human right of health equity and accessibility, working towards a future where quality healthcare services are accessible to all.
