The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO's founding, and is seen as an opportunity by the organisation to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year. In 2016 the WHO have announced the theme as Beat Diabetes.

Prevalence is increasing worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The causes are complex, but the rise is due in part to increases in the number of people who are overweight, including an increase in obesity, and in a widespread lack of physical activity. 

See how diabetes rates vary in the world!
