This year’s theme, “Together for health. Stand with science,” highlights the role of scientific collaboration in protecting the health of all: people, animals, plants, and the planet.

Our health has improved substantially over the past 100 years, thanks to scientific innovations. The future will be shaped based on how we develop and practice science-led approaches for the health of all - through the One Health approach.

One Health is an integrated framework that aims to balance and optimise the health of humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems by recognising their close interdependence. By linking these systems, it enables the full spectrum of disease control, from prevention and detection to preparedness, response, and management.

Psychological health is as vital as physical health. World Health Day emphasises breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness, advocating for better psychiatric care, and integrating emotional wellness into overall health assessments.

It is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being Take care of all three: body, mind, and everything in between.
