To kick off the beginning of National Public Health Week and celebrate the World Health Organization's 60 anniversary, the latest World Health Report was released on April 7, 2008, which is also World Health Day. The WHO has focused the new report around the need to protect health from the adverse effects of climate change, emphasizing the health effects of increased pollution and how changing weather and seasonal patterns influence disease spread, agriculture and public health.
