7th April marks World Health Day

We closed off the show with an interview with Dr Sebastiana Kalula - Director of the Albertina and Walter Sisulu Institute of Ageing in Africa at UCT. This coming Saturday, the 7th of April marks World Health Day to mark the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1948. World Health Day is a global campaign, inviting everyone from global leaders to the public in all countries to focus on a single health challenge with global impact. It also provides an opportunity to start collective action to protect people's health and well-being. The topic of the World Health Day in 2012 is Ageing and health with the theme "Good health adds life to years". For further information you can contact the Albertina and Walter Sisulu Institute of Ageing in Africa on (021) 406 6211 or visit http://www.instituteofageing.uct.ac.za/
