International Youth Day (IYD) is a United Nations-designated awareness day observed annually on August 12.
The day provides a platform to celebrate and amplify young people’s voices, actions, and initiatives, promoting their meaningful, universal, and equitable participation.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) established International Youth Day on December 17, 1999, following the recommendation from the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth to designate August 12 as a day to celebrate and recognize the contributions of young people. The first celebration took place on August 12, 2000 and since then the day has been used to promote education, provide youth opportunities in politics and diverse resource management tatices to address the global challenges.
The theme of the international youth day 2024 focuses on “youth digital pathways for sustainable development”.
The integration of digital technology into healthcare—such as tele-rehabilitation in physical medicine, tele-counselling, and intervention platforms for mental health—demonstrates significant value. These innovations enhance care by improving adherence, facilitating better patient-provider connections, and fostering a more interconnected healthcare ecosystem. In this context, addressing the urgent need for high-quality healthcare professionals in society is paramount.
