The World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO).
This year’s World Health Day Theme is World Health Day 2016: Beat Diabetes.
Diabetes a largely preventable and treatable non-communicable disease that is rapidly increasing in numbers in many countries, most dramatically in low- and middle-income countries.
Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes (commoner in young and older adults), including maintaining normal body weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and eating a healthy diet.
Diabetes can be controlled and managed to prevent complications through diagnosis, self-management education, and affordable treatment.
The WHO estimates about 350 million people in the world have diabetes, with the disease the direct cause of some 1.5 million deaths. The goals of World Health Day 2016 are (1) scale up prevention, (2) strengthen care, and (3) enhance surveillance.
