Since then, Rare Disease Day has always fallen on the last day of February, a month with a rare number of days. This day aims to bring patients with rare health conditions together and foster a community where knowledge of their rare condition and treatment are discussed. The purpose of the day is to increase clinical suspicion, promote awareness, and better access to care for people with rare diseases and support systems for their families. Both the medical treatment for many rare diseases and the social networks that assist those who have them and their families fall short. It is an appeal to medical professionals, governments, and other world leaders to end the stigma associated with people who have rare illnesses and to work together to improve resear

The key to controlling disease is early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The preventive advice includes using excellent hygiene and sanitary practices, getting the required immunizations for diseases that can be prevented by vaccines, and seeking medical attention as soon as you become ill to allow an early diagnosis and course of treatment.  The goal of World Encephalitis Day is to raise awareness of encephalitis on a global scale, prevent deaths, and create better futures. The objective is to remind people of the progress that has been made in battling encephalitis, to celebrate the achievements, and to inspire everyone to get involved in the expanding effort to completely eradicate

The goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly those that pertain to women and young children, were considered towards establishing this day. The aim is to raise awareness of genital mutilation in girls and to inform people of its negative effects. Female genital mutilation, which has its roots in gender inequity, reduces the chances for women and girls to exercise their rights and reach their full potential. It is recognized on a global scale as a major human rights violation that endangers the health and integrity of girls and women worldwide. More educ

We also acknowledge and applaud the developments made in cancer screening programs for early diagnosis and treatment in various nations. Obstacles still stand in our way despite these successes. These include the lack of cancer registries hence poor disease estimation and resource allocation, the low level of health awareness and promotion, the in
