​World Health Day is celebrated on 7 April to commemorate the anniversary of the Worth Health Organization and to raise awareness in society in order to promote action that will lead to better access to healthcare throughout the world.

UNE, in its desire to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), offers a series of standards adapted to each goal. The 3rd objective, “Good Health and Well-being”, is aimed at ensuring a healthy life and promoting the well-being of all people at all ages; as part of this SDG, UNE standards constitute an element that helps attain some of the goals established to help achieve the well-being of people.

For instance, standard UNE 179002 Health services. Quality management systems for healthcare transport companies, which includes advice and recommendations, developed specifically for companies in the health transport sector. Or the UNE 158000 family of standards for services rendered in residential centres that ensures the well-being of residents; for instance, standard UNE 158101 Services that promote personal independence. Management of residential centres and residential centres with an integrated day centre or night centre.
