Solidarity Human Chain

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare along with World Health Organization (WHO) formed a Solidarity Human Chain as part of the World Health Day celebrations.
It aims to reaffirm their commitment to bridging gaps and working collaboratively towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day.
This year’s World Health Day will focus on equity and solidarity.
From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, the celebration has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the WHO.
Over the past 50 years this has brought to light important health issues such as mental health, maternal and child care, and climate change.
