World Health Day
Hello Everyone.
“We cannot achieve environmental security and human development without addressing the basic health issues” said Gro Brundtland.
World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April to mark the anniversary of the founding of The World Health Organization (WHO), which is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) that is concerned with international public health. Each year, the Organization selects a key health issue, and encourages people from all ages and all backgrounds to hold events that highlight a priority area of public health concern in the world.
The theme for this year is High blood pressure.
High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
One in three adults has high blood pressure in South-East Asia Region. Nearly 1.5 million people die due to high blood pressure every year making it a leading risk factor for mortality in the Region.
High blood pressure is preventable, and can be countered by reducing salt intake, eating a balanced diet with regular physical activity, avoiding the harmful use of alcohol and tobacco AND maintaining a healthy body weight.
