This morning, we joined the United Nations, its agencies, and other partners for the 2026 World Health Day health walk in Accra. The exercise, organized under the theme “A Walk in Solidarity: Global Action for Universal Health Coverage,” forms part of activities earmarked for this year’s World Health Day.
The event, coordinated by the UN Office in Accra, sought to promote physical activity, preventive health, and general wellbeing among participants, and to reinforce a shared commitment to advancing universal health coverage and promoting healthy lifestyles. It also provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration among key stakeholders in Ghana’s health sector.
The walk commenced from the office of the UNDP through Labone and its environs and ended with aerobics at the premises of the UNDP.
Commemorated on 7th April each year, World Health Day continues to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to raise awareness on priority health issues and encourage practical actions that support healthier populations, especially in the face of the growing burden of chronic diseases in the country.
