\"World<\/a>World Health Day will be celebrated across the world on 7 April, 2015. This special health awareness day is celebrated every year to draw people’s attention towards the importance of global health.<\/p>\n

In 1948, the WHO held the First World Health Assembly in Geneva where the Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day.<\/p>\n

Each year a particular theme is selected by the WHO that highlights a priority area of public health. This year, the theme is – Food Safety with five keys; Key 1: Keep clean, Key 2: Separate raw and cooked food, Key 3: Cook food thoroughly, Key 4: Keep food at safe temperatures, Key 5: Use safe water and raw materials.<\/p>\n

This year, on World Health Day, WHO will highlight the challenges and opportunities associated with food safety under the slogan ‘From farm to plate, make food safe.’<\/p>\n

WHO has also posted a video that highlights simple measures we should take to protect ourselves:<\/p>\n
