World Health Day 2025: "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures"

 

Today, April 7, is being observed as World Health Day. The World Health Organization (WHO) was founded on this day in 1948, and since then, April 7 has been celebrated every year as World Health Day. This year’s theme is “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures”.

This theme focuses on maternal, newborn, and child health. A safe birth can be the starting point of a healthy life for every child. At the same time, ensuring proper healthcare for both mother and child is the foundation of a hopeful future.

Across the world, many children still face health risks during birth and in early life. That’s why this year’s message emphasizes that every child should be born in a safe and healthy environment and receive proper care and medical attention afterwards. It also highlights the importance of nutrition, prenatal care, and awareness for expectant mothers.

Health is a fundamental human right. Therefore, governments, healthcare workers, families, and communities must work together to ensure a healthy and safe environment for every individual from birth through every stage of life.

On this World Health Day, let us all take a pledge: "Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures."
