The World Health Organization (WHO) was set-up in 1948 to coordinate health affairs within the United Nations member nations. WHO’s Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948, and this day is celebrated as the World Health Day across the UN member nations. WHO is working endlessly with its members to build a healthier, and better future for the whole world. Since 1995, every year World Health Organization selects an annual theme to highlights that year’s priority area of concern. This year, the pandemic is chosen to address.

This year WHO is celebrating the contribution of nurses, and midwives for providing high quality, respectful treatment, and for leading community dialogue to address fears and panics among the public during this distressing time. Lakhs of nurses are working long hours skipping their meals and sleep to support the health care systems across the globe.

“Support nurses and midwives”

WHO argues for universal health coverage. Accessible, and affordable healthcare for the whole world is necessary to build a healthy future. Still, healthcare is a luxury for millions. They are forced to choose between poverty and healthcare. In order to build a healthy world, we all should work together with our local systems to provide healthcare facilities towards every single citizen. Healthcare facilities should not be a luxury, its should be affordable, and there should be zero discrimination for them.
