The World Health Organization (WHO) had coined the slogan '1000 cities, 1000 lives' this year. It will be held between the 7th to 11th April 2010. Activities related to health will be undertaken during these days at most of the places to demonstrate health problems that are related to environment, and diseases caused by smoking, unhealthy diet, lack of physical exercise and so on.
The '1000 Cities, 1000 lives' campaign gives us the chance to reach a common aim which is to strengthen the society's physical and psychological health due to the fact that health is a common responsibility where every person in society takes part," Abdulaziz Al-Farhood added. - Kuwait Times
