The AMREP World Health Day On 7th April 2010


The AMREP World health Day Conference is an annual  event held on World health Day, 7 April , that aims to bring together  students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers from academia,  research institutes, government agencies, and non-government agencies  (NGOs)? to exchange ideas and discuss relevant current issues pertaining  to global health.


This year, World health Day focuses on urbanization  and health, in recognition of the effect  urbanization has on our collective health globally and for us all  individually.


World health Day 2010 is dedicated to urbanization and  health. The campaign highlights the impact of urban living on human  health and encourages efforts to make cities healthier places for people  to live.


To  reduce child mortality,  improve maternal health and combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases  are among the Millennium  Development Goals which all Member States have pledged to meet by  the year 2015.


On 7 April 2010, World health Day,  WHO will focus on the theme of Urbanization and health.


What is done in the open streets is left to the creativity, desires, and priorities of a city. It can be one activity or several. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:


Sponsor a run or walk. It can be a 10k walk through the city, or maybe a walk with your mayor or prime minister to a cultural attraction in your town.


Exercise in the park. Set up classes in open areas in martial arts, aerobics, yoga, dance, or whatever interests your fellow citizens.
