World Health Day 2026 – Poster Making Competition

About World Health Day

World Health Day, observed every year on 7 April, commemorates the founding of the World Health Organization. Each year, it highlights a priority area for global public health and mobilizes action globally and locally.

The 2026 theme — "Together for health: Stand with science" — focuses on scientific collaboration to protect the health of people, animals, plants, and the planet.

It highlights how evidence-based decisions, innovation, and collective action can safeguard well-being of future generations — from vaccination and sanitation to climate-responsive health systems — inspiring communities to trust science and build a world where health is accessible to all.
