🌍 This #WorldHealthDay, we look at #ClimateChange as a public health emergency. From cold-related deaths over infectious diseases to air pollution: Let’s talk about 3 overlooked health risks that go beyond the usual headlines.

This #WorldHealthDay, the WHO is calling for more efforts to prevent maternal deaths and prioritise women’s long-term health, especially in developing countries where inequalities persist.

We contribute through:

🔹 EU-funded projects
🔸 Global Health Policy
🔹 International partnerships
🔸 Financial support and training of midwives

Ensuring access to maternity services is crucial, because investing in maternal and newborn health is an investment in our future.

Shaft!

(Happy #WorldHealthDay everyone!)

A quote from Audre Lorde; "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

However another quote of hers I particularly enjoy....

"I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes--everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!"

World Health Day – April 7
“Health for All” – A Global Mission by WHO

Observed every year on April 7, World Health Day commemorates the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948 and shines a spotlight on urgent health challenges facing humanity. Each year, the day highlights a specific theme with the aim of drawing global attention to key public health issues—from mental health to climate change, healthcare equity, and universal health coverage.
