WHO - World Health Day – 7 April 2014

WHO will be drawing attention to a group of diseases that are spread by insects and other vectors, the health and economic burdens they impose, and what needs to be done to reduce these burdens. WHO will be reaching out to travellers, one of the target audiences for this campaign, at special installations at London’s Heathrow and Washington DC’s Dulles airports.

On the WHO campaign website www.who.int/world-health-day you can find a comprehensive global brief on vector-borne diseases, posters, an infographic, fact sheets and photos. Much of this information is available in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish, as well as English.

More material, including a 30-second video, will be posted on the site in the coming days.

We encourage you to :
•    Read, print and share materials from the website
•    Engage on WHO’s Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WHO and Twitter https://twitter.com/who channels, using the   hashtag     #Just1Bite on Twitter
•    Post the World Health Day campaign banner on your own websites

Good luck with final preparations for your own World Health Day activitie !
