📢 Today, July 24, is #SelfCareDay! 📄 This year's #SelfCareMonth marks the 5th anniversary of the World Health Organization launching the first global Guideline on self-care interventions for health and well-being. This was a major shift in WHO guidance, paving the way to link communities, primary care and health systems. 🏥 Self-care can empower people to be active agents in their own healthcare, putting them at the center of it and relieving pressures on health systems. Self-care interventions can improve #PrimaryHealthcare and contribute to #UniversalHealthCoverage. 🏛️ Policymakers should advocate for renewed commitments and action to expand health systems to include self-care interventions. 🔗 Read the revised WHO guideline from 2022 here: https://lnkd.in/dAhQYqQu Learn more with this video from Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO 👇
