Health observances are useful hooks for lessons, newsletters, workplace wellness and social posts, but they're scattered across WHO, UN and charity websites. This calendar collects 18 fixed-date global days and repeats them every year.
Each event names the organiser and gives one plain fact about the body or the condition. Days with moving dates (like World Kidney Day, the second Thursday of March) aren't included, so the dates here are always right.
Body Unpacked: Health Atlas: Interactive health education that follows a food or nutrient into the body and explains the evidence.
