World Health Day 2022

World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated on the 7th April every year. Due to the current pandemic, a polluted planet, and an increasing incidence of diseases, the theme for World Health Day 2022 is “Our Planet, Our Health”. It aims to take necessary steps and direct the world’s attention towards the well being of our planet and our health.

The World Health Organisation estimates more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes. In the midst of a pandemic, a polluted planet, increasing diseases like cancer, asthma, heart disease and climate crisis are causing health threats to humanity

Vision Rescue in partnership with Nair Community Medicine Department organised an awareness workshop in Maharashtra Nagar slum community educating the people on taking necessary measures to prevent the diseases.

Around 44 people were benefited by this awareness workshop.

To make this day more special, The Movement India (a volunteer mobilization organization) along with 10 student volunteers from Valia C L College of Commerce contributed and planted saplings in Maharashtra Nagar Slum Community.

Here’s to sustaining more children in education by empowering and educating their families and the community.

We are so grateful to you – our community of supporters for enabling us conduct these awareness workshops in our slum communities.
