World Health Day

April 5, 2023

On 7 April 2023  ̶  World Health Day  ̶  the World Health Organization will observe its 75th anniversary. In 1948, countries around the world came together and founded WHO to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health and well-being.   WHO’s 75th anniversary year is an opportunity to look back at public health successes that have improved the quality of life. It is also an opportunity to motivate action to tackle the health challenges of today  ̶  and tomorrow.   At CSC, we support the following statement: The right to health is a basic human right. Everyone must have access to the health services they need when and where they need them without financial hardship. If you would like to support poor Cambodians to get the healthcare they need, consider supporting a patient at www.csc.org.
