International Self Care Day 2024

International Self-Care Day, also known as Self-Care Day or ISD, is celebrated on July 24th each year. The World Health Organization (WHO) established Self-Care Month in 2019 to run from June 24th to July 24th to align with the day.

The symbolic day of July 24th was chosen because self-care can be practiced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

WHO defines self-care as individuals, families and communities promoting and maintaining their own health, preventing disease, and coping with illness and disability, with or without the support of a health worker.

Self-care interventions are the evidence-based tools that support self-care. They include medicines, counselling, diagnostic kits, and digital technologies. Now is an exciting time with more and more tools being developed.
