#DYK the world already produces enough food to nourish everyone?
Yet 645 million people still go hungry, and 2.69 billion can’t afford a healthy diet. In TL, too many children still grow up malnourished.
The choices we make every day shape the world we live in.

What if the water you drink, the food you eat, or the air you breathe were not safe?
#Publichealth protects us every day, often unnoticed: safe water and food, protection from outbreaks and floods, childhood vaccines, and early detection of diseases like diabetes and cancer.

Anxiety and depression are more common than we think, and recovery is possible. Elsia tells WHO how she found her way through, and what support made the difference. Her experience is expertise. If you are struggling, talk to someone you trust. #WorldMentalHealthDay

An estimated 2.2 billion people globally live with vision impairment. Nearly 30% of them are in the WHO South-East Asia Region.

And nearly half of the global burden could have been addressed with surgery or a pair of glasses.

On #WorldSightDay, let’s accelerate action to make affordable and people-centred eye care accessible to everyone, everywhere.
