This year’s theme for World Health Day is diabetes. On 7 April 2016, campaigners of all ages will call for screening and treatment of, and education on non-communicable diseases for all.

Older people all over the world are finding unique ways to advocate for their health under the Age Demands Action banner from a “Walk for your Health” event in Gambia to a musical performance in Grenada.

Let us know how you will be campaigning this World Health Day. You can also follow us on social media using #Diabetes and #WHD2016
