International Self-Care Day

The International Self-Care Day (ISD) is celebrated each year on 24th July to raise awareness on the importance of self-care in day-to-day life. Self-care refers to the everyday choices and decisions that individuals make regarding their own mental and physical health, and fitness. The WHO defines self-care as "the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health-care provider"
