The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 1948, the WHO held the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO's founding, and is seen as an opportunity by the organization to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year.〔World Health Organization: (''World Health Day.'' ) Accessed 16 March 2011.〕 The WHO organizes international, regional and local events on the Day related to a particular theme. Resources provided continue beyond 7 April, that is, the designated day for celebrating the World Health Day. World Health Day is acknowledged by various governments and non-governmental organizations with interests in public health issues, who also organize activities and highlight their support in media reports, such as through press releases issued in recent years by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton〔''Press Statement on World Health Day'' by Hillary Rodham Clinton, US Secretary of State, on 7 April 2010 http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2010/04/139594.htm〕 and the Global Health Council.〔Global Health Council: (''World Health Day'' ) by Lara Endreszl, 7 April 2009.〕 World Health Day is one of eight official global public health campaigns marked by WHO, along with World Tuberculosis Day, World Immunization Week, World Malaria Day, World No Tobacco Day, World Blood Donor Day, World Hepatitis Day, and World AIDS Day.〔World Health Organization: (WHO campaigns. )〕 ==Themes of World Health Days== * 2015: Food safety * 2014: Vector-borne diseases: small bite, big threat * 2013: Healthy heart beat, Healthy blood pressure * 2012: Good health adds life to years * 2011: Anti-microbial resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow * 2010: Urbanization and health: make cities healthier * 2009: Save lives, Make hospitals safe in emergencies * 2008: Protecting health from the adverse effects of climate change * 2007: International health security * 2006: Working together for health * 2005: Make every mother and child count * 2004: Road safety * 2003: Shape the future of life: healthy environments for children * 2002: Move for health * 2001: Mental Health: stop exclusion, dare to care * 2000: Safe Blood starts with me * 1999: Active aging makes the difference * 1998: Safe motherhood * 1997: Emerging infectious diseases * 1996: Healthy Cities for better life * 1995: Global Polio Eradication 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Health Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
