United Nations celebrates 7th April annually as World Health Day right from its commencement at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and bringing into effect in 1950.
For the last five decades, World Health Day has raised some core issues pertaining to health issues like mental health, maternal and child care and also global warming. The day serves as an opportunity to focus on important aspects of health globally.
The theme of this year’s World Health Day has been dedicated to nurses and midwives to remind the leaders of the essential role they are playing in handling the situation. Doctors, nurses, health workers are providing high quality treatments and care and most of them are also collecting data for further studies.
This would be extremely crucial in achieving national and international targets of universal health coverage. The medical impact is now widespread and now focuses more sharply on what is now called a pandemic. With Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister, Japan declaring an emergency for major regions expects a sharp rise in cases with a package of $1 trillion on the world’s third-largest economy.
Healthy commercial and public buildings, schools, colleges, hospitals and retail have emerged as the new requirement. The healthcare allocation in the Union Budget 2020-21 is just a modest increase of 5.7 per cent to Rs 67,484 crore from the revised estimate of Rs 63,830 crore in the previous year and falls short of the target of spending 2.5 per cent of GDP on healthcare. It’s an enormous task to renovate buildings, make it zero net carbon. It will challenge the design and the construction sector like never before.
The role of media has been extremely crucial following every step from covering multiple angles, continuous headlines and regular updates from the world since the time coronavirus started. Also, social media platforms have played an imperative role in for disseminating information
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other health organisations are posting updates on all platforms. This is a great opportunity for all social media platforms to promote public health and use banners, pop-ups to directly message about personal hygiene and social distancing.
