April 7 - World Health Day

08.04.2024

The theme for April 7, 2024 is "My Health is My Right."

Everyone has the right to life and health, regardless of race, nationality, sex or age. It is our birthright and includes both the right to complete physical and mental well-being and the right to decent and accessible health care. 

WHO is campaigning for leaders to ensure that everyone can live and work in an environment that promotes health and that all people have universal and timely access to quality health care. 

It has been found that the level of health status of people depends on the level of health care and medical services only by 8-10%. The rest is formed from a variety of other factors:

  • environmental,
  • economic,
  • social environment,
  • historical traditions of behavior,
  • food culture,
  • on people's attitudes towards themselves and their health.

The State Program "People's Health and Demographic Security" for 2021-2025 has been developed and adopted for implementation in the Republic of Belarus. 

The program defines priority directions in the field of health protection and demographic security for 2021 - 2025:
