Health Calendar
Human beings love to celebrate. It reinforces their sense of achievement and enhances the feeling of unity within the community. The reach of the mass media in the twentieth century has brought the world community closer, giving rise to numerous secular and universal observations.
WebHealthCentre's Health Calendar lists special days in a year that focus on the well being of humans and their habitat. Some like Father's Day or Valentine's Day help nourish our emotional bonds. Some days highlight specific conditions such as AIDS or diabetes. Other days mentioned in this calendar have been earmarked by the international community to draw attention to ways of sustaining our planet and thereby human life on it.
