World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April to mark the founding of World Health Organization (WHO).Each year, WHO selects a key health theme, and encourages people from all ages and all backgrounds to hold events that highlight the significance of this issue for good health and well-being.
World Health Day is an unique opportunity for communities from across the world to come together to promote actions that can improve our health.
The theme of the current World Health Day, marked on 7 April 2011, is "Antimicrobial resistance and its global spread" and focuses on the need for governments and stakeholders to implement the policies and practices needed to prevent and counter the emergence of highly resistant microorganisms.
When infections caused by resistant microorganisms fail to respond to standard treatments, including antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines - also known as drug resistance - this may result in prolonged illness and greater risk of death. For World Health Day 2011, WHO is calling for intensified global commitment to safeguard antimicrobial medicines for future generations.
On World Health Day 2011, WHO will introduce a six-point policy package to combat the spread of antimicrobial resistance
