World Health Day is a global health awareness day that draws attention to an important global health issue every year. It was first established to commemorate the formation of the World Health Organization (WHO). It is just one of 11 official global health campaigns by the organization. It is seen as an opportunity to draw worldwide attention to global health. First established in 1950, one of its major successes was a movement to eradicate smallpox.
