The World Health Day

World Health Day 2022 is dedicated to those who care about their well-being and health, and those who want to save the planet and humanity. The theme of this year's holiday is "Our Planet, Our Health". According to the World Health Organization estimates, 13 million people worldwide die each year from environmentally related diseases. More than 90% of people on the planet breathe polluted air, and air pollution is closely linked to climate change. Toxic substances poison the human body, penetrate the lungs, heart and brain. A third of all deaths from strokes, cardiovascular and lung diseases are associated with dirty air, according to the World Health Organization report.

Human life expectancy is increasing every decade at the same time. This is facilitated by the development of medicine: discoveries, new technologies, equipment and medicines. Unresolved problems in the field of medicine, requiring constant study, remain in every state. Pridnestrovie is no exception. The President declared 2022 the Year of Health in the Republic, as it is important to draw special attention to this area, from the personnel problem to the issues of technical re-equipment.

The State Documentation and Archives Management Service of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic timed a virtual historical and "On Guard for Life and Health" documentary exhibition by the Year of Health in the PMR and World Health Day. 50 photographs: how the infrastructure of the healthcare system in our republic developed, when and how the Republican Clinical Hospital was built, and what condition the medical facilities in Tiraspol were in after the Great Patriotic War. Today, the state allocates hundreds of millions of rubles for the healthcare system and its development. This is the most costly item in the state budget.

According to the World Health Organization call, health care must be universal and equitable. Pridnestrovie adheres to this principle. The latest technologies and digitalization have already become tools for overcoming the challenges that the world, including our republic, faces. COVID-19 has changed the world. The fight against the new virus and its strains continues, countries spend millions and billions, but all this contributes to new discoveries, the development of medicine and a more conscious approach of people to their health.
