See a collection of ACU’s research that supports good health as we mark World Health Day this week on 7 April.
World Health Day is a global health awareness event by the World Health Organisation (WHO) which is held each year on 7 April. The event commemorates the WHO’s founding, and serves to highlight an issue of major importance to global health.
The theme for 2024 is ‘My health, my right’. The WHO has said that “this year’s theme was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination.”
