Campaigns

campaigns-page-ncds-mental-health

Our campaigns and annual health days aim to raise awareness of priority noncommunicable disease (NCD) issues around the world and mobilize efforts in support of prevention and control of NCDs. Annual health days are one-year campaigns celebrated at a specific time each year and under a different theme. Activities can be organized throughout the year. We encourage you to start on the Day and keep going. Media attention is high on the Day, which can generate greater awareness.

Additionally, our campaigns and annual health days provide an opportunity for all stakeholders to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make quality mental health care a reality for people everywhere. These campaigns and days that WHO Member States have mandated as “official” annual health days as well as other days and events are also an opportunity for you to get involved, become aware of the problems, and do whatever you can to help. So, get started now! Browse these sites, share this page with everyone you know, use the available resources (e.g. banners, videos, facts and figures, social cards/tiles, etc.), organize an activity or event to raise awareness about these themes and stimulate action, involve champions, think about where campaign materials can be made available to reach people for whom they are intended, sign up for updates, and do whatever you can to help us better prevent, treat and manage NCDs, and improve health and well-being.
