World Health Day 2025
07 April 2025
April 7th marks World Health Day, an annual observance led by the World Health Organization (WHO) to spotlight key health issues affecting populations worldwide. Each year, the day focuses on a specific theme, aiming to raise awareness and drive action around critical public health challenges.
World Health Day serves as a global platform to highlight the urgent needs of millions of people living in vulnerable conditions—those facing poor health outcomes due to limited access to care, inadequate nutrition, or unsafe living environments. It’s a powerful reminder of the inequalities that persist in healthcare systems, particularly in regions affected by poverty, conflict, and environmental instability.
Today, we recognise the vital role that medical devices play in enhancing patient care and supporting global health systems. Behind every life-saving device is a framework of rigorous quality standards and dedicated professionals working to ensure safety, reliability, and performance.
At the heart of effective Medical Devices Management is ISO 13485, the international standard for quality management systems specific to the medical device industry. ISO 13485 ensures that manufacturers consistently meet regulatory requirements and deliver devices that are safe and effective throughout their lifecycle.
NQA is proud to support organisations worldwide in achieving and maintaining ISO 13485 certification. Our commitment to excellence in auditing and certification helps drive continuous improvement, innovation, and trust across the healthcare supply chain.
This World Health Day, we celebrate the people and processes behind medical devices—from design to deployment. Together, we’re advancing global health, one certified step at a time.
