The World Day of the Sick

February 11

February 11 in the international calendar is designated as World Day of the Sick. This event is conceived, rather, as a social step aimed at supporting people who fall into the sad category of patients.

The World Day of the Patient was established on May 13, 1992 at the initiative of Pope John Paul II, 264th Pope. In his special message written on this occasion, the pontiff noted that the annual celebration of the World Day of the Patient has a definite purpose.

This goal was defined by the Pope as: "to give the feeling to the employees of numerous medical Catholic organizations, to believers, to the entire civil society the need to provide better care for the sick and infirm, to alleviate their suffering."

In 1991, John Paul II was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a disease that was learned much later. It is noteworthy that the Pope established World Day of the sick one year after the news of his diagnosis. World Day of the patient, marked in 2005, was of particular importance, since 2005 was the year of the death of John Paul II.

The World Day of Patient was first celebrated on February 11, 1993. The date was chosen in connection with the fact that Catholics from all over the world have celebrated the Day of the sick on 11 February. It is on this day in the French town of Lourdes, many centuries ago, the phenomenon of the Mother of God took place. The Holy Virgin, Our Lady of Lourdes, healed the suffering, thereby becoming the symbol of the savior of the sick.

Now in many countries of the world on this day there are various actions and events devoted to the theme of disease prevention, their treatment and, of course, the theme of health and healthy lifestyle. In Catholic churches solemn Masses are held, and believers remember the suffering and sick, expressing their sympathy and solidarity.

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science

On February 11, annually, starting in 2016, according to the UN decision, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated.

The background to the appearance of a new holiday is as follows. On December 20, 2013, the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution “Science, technology and innovation for development”, which recognized the equal and full access of women and girls of any age to the achievements and development of science, technology and innovation as a guarantee of gender equality in this area.
