World Health Day: Volunteers' role in public health
---------------------------------------------------
 
Volunteers play a key role in promoting public health and pro-
viding health care, including prevention of epidemics such as 
HIV/AIDS and malaria. From participating in community sanitation 
campaigns to donating time and resources for building hospitals, 
voluntary efforts can be seen in myriad forms.
 
On the occasion of the World Health Day (7 April), the World 
Volunteer Web site focuses on various initiatives worldwide in 
which volunteers contribute towards building a healthy, better 
world. Also featured here are related events and resources, in-
cluding opportunities for volunteer health workers.
