World Health Day

World Heath Day 










It's #WorldHealthDay! 
In some cultures it’s traditional to make a wish on your birthday. Today, on our birthday, @WHO’s wish is for universal health coverage for everyone, everywhere. #HealthForAll 






April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day. From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, the celebration has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization. 
Over the past 50 years this has brought to light important health issues such as mental health, maternal and child care, and climate change. The celebration is marked by activities which extend beyond the day itself and serves as an opportunity to focus worldwide attention on these important aspects of global health Over the years the WHO has adopted various themes to mark the day. These themes have been- 
2007: International health security 
2008: Protecting health from the adverse effects of climate change 
2009: Save lives, Make hospitals safe in emergencies 2010: Urbanization and health: make cities healthier 
2011: Antimicrobial resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow 
2012: Good health adds life to years 
2013: Healthy heart beat, Healthy blood pressure 2014: Vector-borne diseases: small bite, big threat 
2015: Food safety 
2016: Halt the rise: beat diabetes 
2017: Depression: Let's talk 
2018: Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere 
2019: Universal Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere 








Today being another day to celebrate Health, the Universal health coverage is WHO’s number one goal. Key to achieving it is ensuring that everyone can obtain the care they need, when they need it, right in the heart of the community. I was privileged to go to the UNIBEN Health Centre April 2nd 2019 to take vaccination against tetanus and I was grateful because I didn't have to go far from my community to receive the free vaccination even though I am neither a staff nor student of the University. But it was coincidentally in this University I based my Undergraduate Final Year Project on Medical Negligence. 








A lot still has to be done with regards health care, workers and access. But millions of people still have no access at all to health care. Millions more are forced to choose between health care and other daily expenses such as food, clothing and even a home.   This is why WHO is focusing on universal health coverage for this year’s World Health Day, on 7 April.

 I am pleased as a member of TLF to be concerned, involved, act and be vocal on issues relating to health as our theme for the entire month of April in TLF.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution.
