World Health Day, April 7, marks the anniversary of the World Health Organization (WHO) and focuses on raising awareness about global health issues, encouraging healthier living. Each year, a specific theme highlights priority concerns for the WHO. This year’s theme, “Mental Health for All: Prioritizing Emotional Wellbeing,” underscores the importance of not just mental health but also emotional wellbeing.
