Student's Health Screening, World No-Tobacco Day and Menstrual Hygiene Day 2023.
Helth ScreeningNo Tobacco Day 2023: Every year, May 31 is observed as the World No Tobacco Day. It aims at raising awareness about the health risks associated with tobacco consumption. On this day, various global organisations including the United Nations advocate for effective government policies to reduce tobacco use around the world.Tobacco not only affects the health of the individuals including the farmers who grow them, but it also leads to deforestation. According to World Health Organisation, across the globe, around 3.5 million hectares of land are converted for tobacco growing each year leading to deforestation of 200,000 hectares a year.
Theme
As per the WHO, this year's theme for World No Tobacco Day 2023 is, "We need food, not tobacco." It is aimed at raising awareness about alternative crop production and marketing opportunities for tobacco farmers and encourage them to grow sustainable, nutritious crops.
World No Tobacco Day is observed around the world on May 31. It is celebrated to encourage people to say no to tobacco and smoking.
And our School too observed this day toady with Dr. Pallavi Parier M/O ic Ravangla along with her Co-Worker.
Along with that we too obsrved Menstrual Hygiene Day today.
Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is observed on May 28 each year, coinciding with the International Day of Action for Women's Health, across the world.
The day was marked to highlights the importance of menstrual care and raise awareness about the social issues faced by women during menstruation and those who don't have access to sanitary products.
Each year, a specific theme is chosen for World Menstrual Hygiene Day to focus on different aspects of menstrual hygiene management. The 2023 Menstrual Hygiene Day theme is making menstruation a normal fact of life by 2030. The overarching goal is to build a world where no one is held back because they menstruate by 2030.
This year’s hashtag is #WeAreCommitted said Dr. Pallavi Parier.
Along with this two sessions there was a special Student's Health Screening that gives a students Health Card which was indeed a good job by the team of Health Department.
We the family from school would like to thank the entire team from Health Department Ravangla for this Wonderful and meaningful session/programme.
