  2. World obesity day 4 March
    Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. World Obesity Day calls for coordinated global action to tackle the obesity crisis.

    Nearly 3 billion people worldwide-- including over 400 million school-aged children -- are living with overweight or obesity, contributing to 1.7 million premature deaths from noncommunicable diseases each year.

    Driven by factors like poverty, stigma, unequal access to healthcare and education, and limited access to healthy food, obesity is a complex issue that requires understanding, early prevention, and equitable care to change its trajectory.

  3. Endometriosis Awareness Week 3-9 March
    Endometriosis Awareness Week highlights endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Pain is a primary symptom and can significantly impact quality of life.

    Affecting about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide, regardless of ethnic or social background, the condition is common yet often underdiagnosed. With no known cure and limited access to early diagnosis and treatment in many areas, the campaign focuses on raising awareness, promoting early detection, and providing stronger support for those affected.
