World Health Organization South-East Asia Region - WHO SEARO 53d ago

“As health challenges grow more complex, we depend more than ever on science—and on people trusting it enough for solutions to reach scale.” At #WorldHealthDay 2026 celebration under the theme ‘Together for Health. Stand with Science.’, Dr Catharina Boehme, Officer-in-Charge, WHO South-East Asia, called for collective action: “Stand with science. Actively promote it. Protect it. And defend it—because science cannot defend itself. This means ensuring it reaches people—through access, through systems, and through trust.” Stronger systems, trusted institutions, and partnerships are key to ensuring science saves lives. #StandWithScience #HealthForAll #WHOSEARO
