The World Health Organisation (WHO) has officially announced the theme of World Health Day 2025, Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures, which will focus on improving maternal and newborn health and survival.
World Health Day, observed on April 7, is often portrayed as a day to highlight the limitations of traditional healthcare systems. While such critique is necessary for progress, the day should also inspire ideas for improving human health.
Living with type 2 diabetes often means constant effort — checking blood sugar levels, planning meals, and injecting insulin daily. For many, this routine can be overwhelming. But a recent study offers hope in the form of smarter technology that can ease this burden.
New research to be presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2025) suggests that focusing on percentage weight loss as the main goal for obesity treatment might not be the most effective approach.
Many people underestimate pre-diabetes, often dismissing it as a minor issue. But the truth is, pre-diabetes is a critical warning sign—and an opportunity to make lifestyle changes before serious health problems develop.
In today’s digital world, screens are everywhere—from phones and tablets to computers and TVs. For many teenagers, hours spent online have become a normal part of daily life. But experts are increasingly warning that too much screen time may be affecting more than just eyesight or attention spans—it may also be harming sleep and mental health.
Robotic physiotherapy—the integration of robotic technology with traditional rehabilitation—is transforming how patients recover from musculoskeletal and neurological impairments. In Bangladesh, this emerging field is gaining traction, promising more effective therapy, improved access, and better patient outcomes.

A new study suggests that factors beyond individual control—such as socioeconomic status and maternal health—can significantly influence the likelihood of becoming overweight or obese later in life. Led by Glenna Nightingale of the University of Edinburgh, the research was published on 26 March 2025 in PLOS ONE.
When we hear the term ‘silent killer’, conditions like high blood pressure or cancer often come to mind—illnesses that do severe damage without early symptoms. But there’s another culprit quietly fuelling today’s global health crisis: sugar.
