World Health Day: the University celebrates

World Health Day is celebrated annually on April 7. The holiday was first established in 1950, and the celebration date coincides with the adoption of the World Health Organization’s Charter in 1948.

World Health Day aims to emphasize the importance of health for every individual and for humanity as a whole. Health is not only the absence of diseases, but also physical, psychological, and social harmony, the individual’s attitude towards other people and the world around.

A healthy lifestyle is one of the basic conditions and factors to form, maintain and improve health even under difficult environmental and socio-economic conditions, ensuring high productivity, well-being and better adaptation to environmental changes.

Each year, the World Health Organization selects a specific theme for the holiday. In 2023, it is "Health for All". After all, everyone has the right to receive the services they need for health reasons. Such services must guarantee equal access to healthcare for all without discrimination based on financial status, place of residence, type of disease or time of seeking care.

In Ukraine, after the full-scale Russian invasion, the most important task the society faces is to protect the lives of children, civilians and the Ukrainian military. Therefore, all efforts should be taken to create conditions to preserve the life and health of the nation.

Health is a source of vitality, inspiration, and pleasure from life. It is the ability to set goals and achieve them in order to realize one’s potential. Taking care of health is relevant, modern and prestigious.
