National Public Health Week

3 April 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) has chosen a theme for 2024: "My health, my right," which addresses challenges that surround people around the world.

Disaster and disease play a large role in the causes of death and disability. Even though 140 countries around the world have "health" as a basic human right in their constitutions, laws are not in place to plan for clean air or access to health services.

The Vattikuti Foundation started its social empowerment division in 2009 along with the launch of innumerable programs supporting livelihoods and financial inclusion to increase public awareness of the resources available to them, in order to facilitate alleviation of their own circumstances.
