We celebrate World Health Day under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO).

This year, the motto is ‘’Small bite, big threat!’’ The WHO decided to dedicate this day to vector-borne diseases, carried by mosquitos, flies, ticks and bugs.

In Slovenia, the most common types of such diseases are tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme borreliosis.
