1. REPORT OF WORLD INTERNATIONAL HEALTH DAY
CELEBRATION ON APRIL 7TH
2019
INTRODUCTION :
The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the
sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as other related organizations. In 1948,
the WHO held the First World Health Assembly.
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 .Theme of the year
“Universal health coverage: everyone, everywhere”Progress is being made in countries in all regions of
the world. 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.
World Health Day is a chance to celebrate health and remind world leaders that everyone should be able
to access the health care they need, when and where they need it. Advocacy events will be held around
the world to fuel the momentum of the #Health For All movement and to highlight our goal of achieving
a fairer, healthier world – in which no one is left behind. The focus will be on equity and solidarity – on
raising the bar for health for everyone, everywhere by addressing gaps in services, and leaving no one
behind. The tagline for World Health Day is: Health for all – everyone, everywhere.
Universal health coverage and primary health care? Universal health coverage means that all people have
access to the quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial
hardship. We believe this is possible and it starts with strong primary health care. Primary health care is a
whole-of-society approach to health and wellbeing centred on the needs and preferences of individuals,
families and communities. To make health for all a reality, governments need to invest in quality,
accessible primary health care. Health workers need to care and advocate for patients and educate them
on how to get and stay healthy. Individuals and communities need to be empowered to take care of their
own health. Health is a human right. Together, we can make health for all a reality
GOALS
• To improve understanding of universal health coverage and the importance of primary health care as its
foundation.
2. • To spur action from individuals, policy-makers and health-care workers to make universal health care a
reality for everyone.
KEY MESSAGE :
Health is a human right; it’s time for health for all.
Universal health coverage means that all people have access to the quality health services they
need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.
At least half of the people in the world do not receive the health services they need.
Health is a human right; everyone should have the information and services they need to take care
of their own health and the health of their families.
Quality, accessible primary health care is the foundation for universal health coverage.
Primary health care should be the first level of contact with the health system, where individuals,
families and communities receive most of their health care—from promotion and prevention to
treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care—as close as possible to where they live and work.
At its heart, primary health care is about caring for people and helping them improve their health or
maintain their well-being, rather than just treating a single disease or condition.
Primary health care is a cost effective and equitable way of delivering health services and helping
countries make progress towards universal health coverage.
Health workers have a crucial role to play educating patients on how to take care of their health,
coordinating care and advocating for their patients’ needs to health facility managers and policy-makers.
Primary health-care workers know the traditions, cultures and practices of their communities,
making them indispensable during an outbreak or emergency.
To make health for all a reality, we need: individuals and communities who have access to high quality
health services so that they take care of their own health and the health of their families; skilled health
workers providing quality, people-centred care; and policy-makers committed to investing in primary
health care.
Social media squares, posters, infographics, GIFs and videos are available to help you celebrate World
Health Day and communicate about universal health coverage and primary health care. Please keep
checking back, as more language versions will be added to the multilingual pages of the site (click on the
buttons on the top right) in the days leading up to World Health Day on 7 April.
WHO has developed a cohesive definition based on three components:
meeting people’s health needs through comprehensive promotive, protective, preventive,
curative, rehabilitative, and palliative care throughout the life course, strategically prioritizing key
health care services aimed at individuals and families through primary care and the population
through public health functions as the central elements of integrated health services;
3. systematically addressing the broader determinants of health (including social, economic,
environmental, as well as people’s characteristics and behaviours) through evidence-informed
public policies and actions across all sectors; and
empowering individuals, families, and communities to optimize their health, as advocates for
policies that promote and protect health and well-being, as co-developers of health and social
services, and as self-carers and care-givers to others.

Each country is unique, and each country may focus on different areas, or develop their own ways of
measuring progress towards UHC. But there is also value in a global approach that uses standardized
measures that are internationally recognized so that they are comparable across borders and over time.
