Every year, thousands of lives are lost because of a dangerous drug called fentanyl.

Every year on May 31, people around the world raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco. This special day is called World No Tobacco Day.

World Health Day, celebrated each year in April, reminds us that health is more than just avoiding illness — it’s about living a full and balanced life.
