The World Health Organization (WHO) said the slogan of the World Health Day 2024 is "My Health, My Right".

Around the world, the right to health of millions is increasingly coming under threat, the WHO said in a statement.

Diseases and disasters loom large as causes of death and disability.

Conflicts are devastating lives, causing death, pain, hunger and psychological distress.

The burning of fossil fuels is simultaneously driving the climate crisis and taking away our right to breathe clean air, with indoor and outdoor air pollution claiming a life every 5 seconds.
