The National Council on Health (NCH), at its 64th meeting in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, made a significant decision to establish an annual commemorative day for Health Promotion in Nigeria. This decision reflects the government’s commitment to raising awareness about health issues and promoting the well-being of its citizens. With an increasing emphasis on preventive healthcare and wellness, health promotion officers are expected to play crucial roles in promoting healthy behaviours as well as improving overall well-being.
