The Arab Center for Health Awareness (Wiaya), affiliated with the Arab Medical Union, announced its participation in World Health Day 2026, launched by the World Health Organization, as part of efforts to raise public health awareness and promote better quality of life.
Observed annually on April 7, World Health Day is an international occasion established by the World Health Organization to highlight the most pressing health challenges facing humanity.
This year’s observance is held under the theme “Together for Health… Support Science,” as part of an extended campaign aimed at strengthening the role of scientific research and international cooperation in improving the health of humans, animals, and the environment, within the framework of the “One Health” approach that links these three elements.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the center said that, in response to this year’s theme, it will focus on promoting healthy lifestyle practices through a series of awareness campaigns. These initiatives will emphasize the importance of balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep as key pillars for enhancing both physical and mental well-being, while helping prevent chronic diseases.
Ali Abo Seif, Secretary-General of the Arab Medical Union, stated that the online campaign, set to run throughout April, will include posters and digital content addressing ways to prevent chronic illnesses and reduce stress and psychological pressure.
He further noted that the campaign will also provide guidance on avoiding harmful habits such as smoking, while encouraging regular exercise, healthy eating, and improved sleep quality as essential components of a healthier lifestyle.
