World Health Day 2022: Let’s Work Towards Our Planet to Sustain Healthy Lives

April 7th is observed as World Health Day every year with a theme that highlights the importance of Wellness and Health for people. This year the emphasis is on the health of our plant that ultimately gives lives to people and defines their health status through various natural factors and parameters.


History of World Health Day

The World Health Organization (WHO) started an initiative in raising awareness about the general health of people and providing immediate action to remove health treatment barriers to achieve improved health for everyone while leaving no one behind.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating implications for people who are already suffering from inequity. The epidemic has had a severe impact on individuals who are already socially, economically, or geographically challenged.

The right to health is a basic human right. Regardless of age, gender, caste, religion, economic condition, or employment, everyone deserves to enjoy a healthy life. Globally, progress in addressing health inequities has been slow, especially in the region where people are experiencing crisis and conflict.


Theme 2022 - Our Planet, Our Health

World Health Day 2022 highlights some of the burning issues the entire world is facing today. The onset of the pandemic has brought in front a few things that we must look at now. Despite so many medical advancements and developments, we are unable to prevent sickness which is the outcome of environmental degradation. The need for clean air, water, and food is pivotal today as many of the diseases can be prevented only through the right exposure to our immediate environment.

Apart from the physical factors, our economies should also have plans that promote the well-being of all. This year’s theme also focuses on promoting awareness of the general health of people who should be able to get health care facilities without worrying about their finances. The full spectrum of healthcare, including supporting healthcare programs, giving preventative measures, ensuring treatment, providing rehabilitation, and providing palliative care, must be affordable.

People who are poor frequently sell their assets and spend their money to pay for healthcare. This may help them secure their immediate future, but it comes at the risk of exposing them to a future crisis. People will have access to high-quality health care, which will improve their health and quality of life. Its goal is to protect people from the negative consequences of spending a large lot of money on health care.

People who have access to high-quality healthcare should be aware of what half of the world's population does not, and advocate the cause of universal access to high-quality health care. Health-care workers may play an important part in this campaign by informing policymakers about the essentials of good health care. Policymakers can then take steps to ensure Universal Health Coverage and meet the Sustainable Development Goals' targets.
