World Health Day is being celebrated today to raise global health awareness. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared ‘My health, my right’ as the theme this year to address the grave lack of essential health services to at least 4.5 billion people, more than half of the world’s population.
Speaking to Akashwani News, AIIMS New Delhi Professor, Dr. Rima Dada said that key changes in lifestyle and adoption of practices such as yoga can help beat lifestyle diseases that have been growing at an alarming rate, especially among the youth.
The World Health Day was first celebrated in 1950 by the WHO to mark the organization’s founding and draw global attention on the importance of health.
