WORLD HEALTH DAY 2026: TOGETHER FOR HEALTH. STAND WITH SCIENCE
World Health Day 2026 is observed on 7th April with the theme “Together for Health. Stand with Science.” The theme highlights the importance of collective action and science-based healthcare in creating healthier individuals, families, and communities.
Healthcare today is shaped by continuous medical research, clinical evidence, advanced technology, and the expertise of trained healthcare professionals. From early diagnosis and preventive healthcare to advanced treatment and rehabilitation, scientific progress continues to improve patient outcomes and the quality of care.
What Does “Together for Health. Stand with Science.” Mean?
The World Health Day 2026 theme brings together two important principles.
“Together for Health” reminds us that better health outcomes require a shared effort. Individuals, families, doctors, hospitals, healthcare organisations, and communities all have a role to play in promoting healthier lives.
“Stand with Science” encourages people to make informed healthcare decisions based on credible medical evidence and professional advice. It also highlights the importance of recognising misinformation and avoiding unverified health claims or treatments that may not be supported by scientific evidence.
The Importance of Preventive Healthcare
Good healthcare is not limited to treating a disease after it develops. Preventive healthcare plays an equally important role in maintaining long-term health.
Regular health check-ups, appropriate screening, physical activity, balanced nutrition, timely medical consultation, and awareness of risk factors can help identify potential health concerns at an early stage.
For patients experiencing persistent pain, mobility problems, injuries, or other health concerns, seeking timely medical advice can also help prevent conditions from becoming more complicated.
Science and Modern Healthcare
Medical science has transformed healthcare through advances in diagnosis, surgical techniques, medical devices, rehabilitation, and patient management. Evidence-based medicine enables healthcare professionals to evaluate treatment options using established clinical knowledge and research.
For patients, standing with science means asking questions, understanding treatment options, following professional medical advice, and making healthcare decisions based on reliable information.

Aches and pains in little bones
We want children to be happy all throughout their childhood. But there can be episodes of aches and groans in children that may cause parents to get worried. While these pains are , in most cases, trivial, yet some underlying disorders may sometimes be the reason, waiting only to be diagnosed later at an advanced stage. Hence, it is important not to overlook any symptoms related to bones and muscles.
The most common type of pain that children suffer from is the one that appears in the evening or at night and sometimes awakes the child from sleep. These painful episodes are better known as “Growing Pains.” These episodes occur following a day of intense physical activities. Howsoever painful it may be, it disappears in the morning, and the child can resume normal activities without a trace of symptoms.
Children can be managed with gentle massage, compression, warm or cold compress. Analgesics are rarely required. Children usually outgrow these aching episodes without any sequelae. Having said that, it is important to keep their nutritional status optimum and prevent deficiency of essential nutrients such as vitamin D .
The following are the red flags:
Pain in the morning, swelling of joints, fever, redness, joint stiffness, decreased intake and reduced play activities.
If any of these occur, parents should consult a specialist.

Coras Hospital First in Region to Add ROSA® Robotic Knee Replacement Technology to Surgical Services
An exciting change in knee replacement surgical technology has arrived at Coras Hospital with the recent addition of ROSA® knee robotic technology. Developed by Zimmer Biomet, ROSA stands for Robotic Surgical Assistant and is designed to help a specially trained surgeon tailor the placement of the knee implant in patients who need a total knee replacement. Coras Hospital is the first hospital in the region to acquire this technology.
Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis (a degenerative joint disease) which causes the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in the joint which results in the need for joint replacement surgery. Patients who are candidates for knee replacement are those who have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee and have knee pain, swelling, stiffness and decreased flexibility despite conservative treatment.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Pranjal Mahanta at CORAS, explains the ROSA system uses data that is collected before and during surgery to let the surgeon know the details of the patient’s anatomy. Prior to surgery, patients will have a series of X-rays performed, which are used to create a 3D model of their knee. During surgery, the system uses a camera and trackers to help ensure the pre-op plan is performed as intended by providing the surgeon with data throughout the procedure to help him know how to position the implant based on each individual patient’s anatomy.
Dr. Pranjal Mahanta points out the robot does not operate on its own. “The technology does not make movements unless prompted by the surgeon. The surgeon remains in control of making all the decisions based on the data provided by the system. This data, combined with the experience and knowledge of the surgeon, helps determine the best placement of each individual’s knee implant based on their anatomy,” he explains. “This advancement in orthopedic surgery allows for greater surgical precision placing the implants, which leads to improved patient outcomes.”*
*Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure. Talk with your doctor about these risks to find out if robotic surgery is right for you.
