World Animal Day is observed every year on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, who was regarded as the patron saint of animals. The day was celebrated for the first time in 1925 by Cynologist Heinrich Zimmermann to address the plight of animals and initiate work towards their protection -- both in the wild and domestic world.

Significance of World Animal Day

The day focuses on creating awareness about the effects of individuals, businesses and other human behaviours on animals. It is also known as ‘Animal Lovers Day’ as it encourages love, care, affection and protection of animals through the involvement of individuals and organisations who work for the rights of animals.

Aim of World Animal Day

According to the website of World Animal Day, the main aim is to raise the status of animals and help improve welfare standards across the globe. It is also about uniting the animal welfare movement and mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals.

World Heart Day is celebrated on 29th September of every year. It is aimed at drawing people’s attention to heart illness and the range of associated health issues.

The day is commemorated to promote different preventative steps and changes in lifestyle to avoid any cardiovascular diseases, like heart attack, stroke, heart failure and any other condition related to the same. On average, more than 17 million people die from heart-related illnesses every year. This is a more than that of people who die from HIV, malaria, and cancer.

USE HEART TO CONNECT is about using your knowledge, compassion and influence to make sure you, your loved ones and the communities you’re part of have the best chance to live heart-healthy lives. It’s about connecting with our own hearts, making sure we’re fuelling and nurturing them as best we can, and using the power of digital to connect every heart, everywhere.

World Pharmacist Day 2021 is celebrated today, September 25. The day has been marked to celebrate and recognise the role of pharmacists play. The World Pharmacist Day theme 2021 is "Pharmacy: Always Trusted For Your Health". International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) established the World Pharmacist Day. It was on this day FIP was founded in 1912. FIP is the global federation of national associations of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists.

“By encouraging and supporting FIP member organisations to take part in World Pharmacists Day, FIP is not only raising awareness of the role of the pharmacist in healthcare but also furthering that exact role through increased community involvement on national and local levels,” a statement on FIP website read.

The theme declared for World Pharmacist Day 2021 is "Pharmacy: Always Trusted For Your Health". The theme this year has been chosen to draw special attention to the trust in the health sector and the practice of pharmacy.

“Trust is also essential to health care: there is a significant association between trust in healthcare professionals and health outcomes for patients. Across diverse clinical settings, patients reported greater satisfaction with treatment, showed more beneficial health behaviours and fewer symptoms, and experienced improved quality of life when they had higher trust in their healthcare professionals,” FIP said.
