Together for health. Stand with science. Advance ‘One Health’

On this World Health Day, the WHO calls on Nepal to stand with science—by turning evidence into action, investing in resilient systems and working across sectors to protect the health of people, animals, plants and the planet.

Every year on April 7, the world marks World Health Day, a tradition that began with the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948. For nearly eight decades, this day has served a dual purpose: Celebrating humanity’s remarkable progress in public health, while drawing attention to the challenges that still demand urgent action.
