The focus for World Health Day 2022 is Our Planet, Our Health.
It is celebrated on April 7 to mark the day that WHO was established in 1948.
This year WHO will focus global attention on urgent actions needed to keep humans and the planet healthy given the impact of the pandemic and climate change.
The most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change underlined again the need for such action.
Lord,
we recognise that our health is linked to the health of our planet.
Help us to see the extent of the damage we are doing to so that we may be motivated to take the urgent actions needed.
May the beauty and wonder of all that you have created provide us with the desire and the energy to preserve and care for the great gift of life you have given to us.
Amen
