World Health Day marks the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization on April 7, 1948. This year, the group is pushing the importance of scientific advancement in health priorities from diets to water, sanitation, vaccines and medicines, chronic conditions and mental health.
The WHO says its 2026 campaign is calling on governments, scientists, health workers, partners and the public to stand with science by engaging with evidence, facts and science-based guidance to protect health; rebuild trust in science and public health; and support science-led solutions for a healthier future.
The next step in its campaign got underway on Tuesday and goes through Thursday, April 9, in which the organization is bringing in global experts from hundreds of institutions across more than 80 countries for the First Global Forum of WHO Collaborating Centres.
