World Health Day 2023 – 75 years of improving public health [https://www.who.int/campaigns/75-years-of-improving-public-health]
Saturday 19 August
World Humanitarian Day
This World Humanitarian Day, we honour the heroes of humanitarian crises across the world: those who are first on the ground and at the forefront of every disaster relief, be it in a conflict or following disasters.
An increasing number of convergent threats directly impact many people’s access to basic necessities, including healthcare. Humanitarians are often the only line of protection for care, dignity, and hope. WHO joins partners in paying homage to them and their work, delivering no matter what, this year’s theme. #NoMatterWhat [https://www.unocha.org/publications/report/world/world-humanitarian-day-2023-coming-soon].
WHO proudly joins the campaign led by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) our long-trusted partner, and thank them for its strong leadership and financial support.
