- World Health Day is celebrated annually on April 7th to mark the anniversary of the World Health Organization's founding in 1948. Each year it focuses on a priority public health theme.
- The 2017 theme is "Depression: Let's Talk" which aims to raise awareness of depression and reduce the stigma around mental health issues.

Over the last century, significant progress has been made in public health and increasing life expectancy. Community health involves both individual actions and organized community efforts to promote health. The factors that influence community health include physical, social, cultural, and economic factors. Community organizing brings people together to identify common goals and implement strategies. Both personal health behaviors and herd immunity play roles in community health. Looking to the past can help communities better plan for the future. Current goals aim to attain high quality, longer lives for all through health equity, healthy environments, and healthy behaviors across all stages of life.
Community health lecture
The document discusses how social and environmental factors impact health and access to healthcare. It outlines that where someone lives determines their health based on things like water quality, smoking bans, food access, and healthcare resources. Access to healthcare varies across communities based on race, income, education, insurance status, and disability. A behavioral model shows how predisposing characteristics, enabling factors, and health needs influence healthcare utilization. Neighborhood characteristics like socioeconomic disadvantage, physical environments, and social networks can decrease access to primary care and increase unmet needs. Investing in community prevention and changing neighborhood environments can increase access and produce healthcare savings.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Community and environmental health is defined as the health of a socio-logical group sharing one environment, including individuals and families. It comprises aspects of human health determined by physical, chemical, biological, social, and psycho-social factors in the surrounding environment. Community and environmental health aims to maintain, protect, and improve community health through organized and sustained community efforts.
Factors affecting community health
Factors affecting community health can be grouped into physical, social/cultural, community organization, and individual behavior factors. Physical factors include industrial development, which can cause diseases from toxic waste and congestion; water contamination; air pollution; community size; geographical location, which can influence diseases spread through factors like flooding; and environment cleanliness. Social/cultural factors include traditions and beliefs like FGM; and economy, as economically well-off communities have better access to healthcare. Community organization factors include government provision of services; and community resource organization like taxes. Individual behavior also influences community health through personal health habits.
Who theme final
The document summarizes information about World Health Day which is celebrated annually on April 7th. It is organized by the World Health Organization to highlight priority public health issues. The 2014 theme is "Vector-Borne Diseases" such as dengue, malaria, and lymphatic filariasis. The goals are to increase awareness of prevention and promote access to treatment for these diseases transmitted through mosquitoes, ticks, and other vectors.

Careif newsletter 10th anniversary
Welcome to Careif’s 10th anniversary newsletter.
Careif is an international mental health charity that works towards protecting and promoting mental health and resilience, to eliminate inequalities and strengthen social justice. Our principles include working creatively with humili-ty and dignity, and with balanced partnerships in order to ensure all cultures and societies play their part in our mission of protecting and promoting mental health and well‐being. We do this by respecting the traditions of all world soci-eties, whilst believing traditions can evolve, for even greater benefit to individ-uals and society.
Careif believes that knowledge should not only be available to those with wealth or those who live in urban and industrialised parts of the world. It considers knowledge sharing to be a basic human right, where this knowledge can change lives and help realise true human potential. Further-more there is substantial knowledge to be found in the less developed, rural and poorer areas of the world and this is valuable to the wellbeing of people in areas which are wealthier.
The newsletter has been produced on a voluntary basis by me, Erica Camus, a freelance journalist, and public speaker with schizo-affective. If you’d like to book me for editorial work, or for a talk please contact me on cromptonerica@hotmail.com.

This document presents the idea of a global health service (GHS) that would allow for a connectedness across health systems worldwide. It suggests that by envisioning such a service, where resources and support could flow freely to those in need, positive change for global health may be possible. Current issues like lack of access to care in low-income countries and unhealthy behaviors in high-income countries could benefit from a more global perspective that embraces the interdependence of all people's health. The document aims to engage readers in imaginatively exploring how a GHS could help achieve better health for all.
