Abstract

There are many world days observed throughout the year related to specific health issues or conditions. Thus observing the different health related days maintaining a high-profile focus on universal health coverage via a series of events with global and local conversations about ways to achieve ‘Health for All’ is emphasized. The idea of observing such health related days for awareness is to spread knowledge on health issues and empower people in the decision making on health diagnosis and medical treatments. The observations seem to be reinforcing that it is a good step, and it might be even sufficient to address the health issue. Specific health related day may just be one day, but it is a day that needs to remind the importance of health as something that needs to be a part of everyday life. This article gives a brief description of different health related days in a calendar year observing worldwide.
