The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched an appeal for people around the world to work together and support science in promoting better health. This call to action is in line with this year's World Health Day theme, "Together for health. Stand with science."
According to the WHO, the theme for World Health Day 2026 highlights the importance of collaboration and scientific evidence in improving global health outcomes. The campaign, which marks the anniversary of WHO's founding on 7 April 1948, aims to renew the commitment to working together and supporting science as the twin engines driving better health. In a statement, the WHO emphasizes that "together, we can build healthier, safer, more inclusive, and more resilient societies for everyone."
The WHO will continue to promote the importance of science and global cooperation in addressing major health challenges through the "Together for health. Stand with science." campaign. This campaign will serve as a reminder of the collective responsibility to work towards a healthier world and leverage the power of science to achieve better health outcomes worldwide.
