World Health Day 2024

World Health Day 2024

Around the world, the right to health of millions is increasingly coming under threat.

Diseases and disasters loom large as causes of death and disability.

Conflicts are devastating lives, causing death, pain, hunger and psychological distress.

The burning of fossil fuels is simultaneously driving the climate crisis and taking away our right to breathe clean air, with indoor and outdoor air pollution claiming a life every 5 seconds.

The WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All has found that at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution. Yet countries are not passing and putting into practice laws to ensure their populations are entitled to access health services. This underpins the fact that at least 4.5 billion people — more than half of the world’s population — were not fully covered by essential health services in 2021.

To address these types of challenges, the theme for World Health Day 2024 is ‘My health, my right’.

This year’s theme was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination.

24 березня – Всесвітній день боротьби з туберкульозом.  У рамках цього дня, за підтримки Американського посольства, у центрі EHPV у Нарві, була в гостях провідний спеціаліст Нарвської лікарні, пульмонолог, доктор Вероніка Ільїна-провела лекцію на тему “Що таке туберкульоз простими словами”.

Ми дізналися все про цю хворобу, зробили свої висновки та записалися на флюрографію.

Туберкульоз (ТБ) – це інфекційне захворювання, яке найчастіше вражає легені та викликається певним видом бактерій.  Він поширюється повітрям при кашлі, чханні чи відхаркуванні інфікованих людей.  Туберкульоз запобігти і вилікувати.

Бережіть себе!!!

The theme of World TB Day 2024 is: Yes! We Can End TB

World TB Day, falling on March 24th each year, is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of nearly one-and-a-half million people each year, mostly in developing countries. It commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis, the TB bacillus. At the time of Koch’s announcement in Berlin, TB was raging through Europe and the Americas, causing the death of one out of every seven people. Koch’s discovery opened the way towards diagnosing and curing TB.

Experienced journalist with a demonstrated history of working in the print, broadcast, and online media industry. Skilled in Search Engine Optimization …

Such a dialogue is more than merely a conversation over issues of importance – it lies at the very core of our EHPV  existence. This is a very frank story about important things. 1. This article is about the health of a man’s… It’s undoubtedly, to worry about the health of their family and other loved ones, it is very important. 2. Estonia can be proud that we now have one of the most progressive equal marriage bills in the world, and that we’ve sent out a strong message about the kind of country we are. The Marriage Equality Act puts this fundamental principle and human right into law. It makes the case for investment in health and creating societies where health is valued.’
