World Health Day 2023: Article collection
This Friday 7 April is World Health Day, celebrated annually to draw attention to a specific health topic of concern to people all over the world on the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization.
This World Health Day marks 75 years since the anniversary of the WHO and the theme for this year is ‘Health for All’.
The WHO says that its 75th anniversary year is an opportunity to look back at public health successes that have improved quality of life during the last seven decades. It is also an opportunity to motivate action to tackle the health challenges of today ̶ and tomorrow.
To mark World Health Day 2023, we have compiled this collection of articles from our two journals Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene and International Health.
