About the countdown to World Health Day
The World Health Organization was founded on April 7, 1948, and the day has been observed annually since 1950.
Each year the day spotlights a particular public health priority to encourage worldwide action.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. The next World Health Day falls in ISO week 14 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
