The 2023 theme for World Health Day is “Health for All.” This year commemorates the 75th anniversary of the WHO’s founding “to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health and well-being,” according to the organization’s World Health Day website.
“Our shared, global commitment to health equity is key to addressing current and future health challenges,” says Richard Marlink, director of Rutgers Global Health Institute. “The ideals of ‘Health for All’ must be front and center in all we do – emphasis on ‘we’ – as we confront health disparities and work together to create the conditions that make good health possible.”
