World Health Day campaign: 1000 Cities, 1000 Lives

WHO | World Health Day – 7 April 2010

Urbanisation and health is a nice fresh theme to choose. WHO's blurb below
Virtually all population growth over the next 30 years will be in urban areas, signaling that urbanization is here to stay. It is associated with many health challenges related to water, environment, violence and injury, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol as well as the risks associated with disease outbreaks.
