Tsirangtoe Central School observed World
Health Day on April 7, 2018. The School Health Club members displayed the theme
of the World Health Day 2018 – “Universal
Health Coverage: everyone, everywhere”, and explained its meaning and significance,
with special reference to the distant peasant communities like Tsirangtoe. Such
theme would help ensure that everyone, everywhere can access essential quality
health services without facing financial hardship.
The School Health Club
also threw light on the health slogan “Health for All”. This timeless slogan
has been a guiding vision for more than seven decades, and it helps in materializing
the dream of universal health coverage. Such themes and slogans only indicate
that the world health system cares everyone including pastoral communities in
the western countries, and peasant communities in countries like Bhutan.
Towards the day,
students participated in mass cleaning campaign (within the school campus). “Health
must begin from home!” the club supposed. The hygienic practice in the school
would undeniably help in disseminating the importance of Health and Hygiene as
far as to the orthodox communities who still dwell with jungle beliefs. The School
Health Club believes that a hygienic child in each household would make a significant
difference in realizing their dream of crafting clean and hygienic community.
