World Health Day is celebrated on 07 April every year and draws attention to various health topics of concern to people all over the world.
The theme for 2021 is “Building a fairer, healthier world”. The World Health Organisation are calling on leaders to ensure that everyone has living and working conditions that are conducive to good health, while urging leaders to monitor health inequities, and to ensure that all people are able to access quality health services when and where they need them.
Your Health is Your Wealth
In most countries in the world, the saying ‘your health is your wealth’ is widely used and understood. In Ireland, we often tend to put health issues on the long finger. Now more than ever we need to be aware that prevention is always better than cure. A quiet talk with your local pharmacist may often solve your issue but do contact your GP for any serious health issues.
