World Health Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the most important global health issues and uniting efforts to address them. In 2026, the day is marked under the theme: “Together for health. Stand with science”.
On April 7, 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) was founded. Two years later, in 1950, April 7 was officially declared World Health Day in honor of the establishment of the WHO.
It should be noted that Armenia has been a member of the WHO since 1994. In 2024, Arabkir Medical Center – Institute of Child and Adolescent Health was granted the status of a WHO Collaborating Centre. This status is mainly awarded to research institutes, universities, and academic departments that work with the WHO in various areas of the health sector.
