每年7月24日的国际自我保健日为全世界提高自我健康生活方式，为自我保健计划的知名度提供了一个重点和机会。ISD是由国际自我保健基金会倡导的自我保健纪念日，旨在促进自我保健作为健康的重要基础。ISD从2011年开始运行。它提供了一个媒体友好的论坛，让个人和团体(独立地)在他们的组织或社区中促进自我照顾。

International Self-Care Day (ISD), on 24 July each year, provides a focus and opportunity to raise the profile of healthy lifestyle self-care programmes around the world. ISD is a device developed by the International Self-Care Foundation to promote self-care as a vital foundation of health. ISD has been running since 2011. It provides a media-friendly forum and a focus for individuals and groups to (independently) promote self-care in their organisation or community.

邀请所有卫生利益相关方以负责任的方式利用国际自我保健日，促进健康生活方式和健康事业。ISF很高兴为希望开展符合这些目标的公共卫生规划的团体和组织提供支持。ISF要求执行与ISD有关的公共卫生规划的团体和组织提供规划的摘要报告，以供将来参考和可能在其他国家进行部署。

All stakeholders in health are invited to use International Self-Care Day in responsible ways that progress the cause of healthy lifestyles and wellness. ISF is pleased to provide support to groups and organisations wishing to conduct public health programmes consistent with these objectives. ISF requests that groups and organisations that undertake public health programmes linked to ISD provide a summary report of the programmes, for future reference and potential deployment in other countries.

7月24日国际自我保健日象征着人们一周7天、每天24小时地享受自我保健的益处。换句话说，自我照顾的好处是终生的，不是一天就能得到的。7月24日的ISD只是为宣传或报告行动计划中的自我保健提供了一个良好的重点和机会。活动主办机构可能会在7月24日左右工作，以提供方便，例如在2014年安排7月第三个星期日的活动。

The International Self-Care Day, 24 July, symbolises that the benefits of self-care are experienced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In other words, the benefits of self-care are life-long and do not just relate to a single day. ISD on 24 July simply provides a good focus and opportunity to publicise or report on self-care in action programmes. Programme organisers may work around July 24 as convenient, for example in 2014 for practical convenience organising events on the third Sunday of July.

每年ISF都会提出一个国际自我照顾日的主题。2017年7月24日的主题是“照顾好自己”。2018年7月24日的主题是“感觉良好，7/24”。从2019年开始，可以选择适当的主题:

• 自我照顾是终身的

• 照顾好自己

• 善待自己，让自己更健康

Each year ISF proposes a general theme for International Self-Care Day. For 24 July 2017, the theme was ‘Get better with Self-Care’. For 24 July 2018, the theme was ‘Feel Good, 7/24’. From 2019 there is a choice of themes which can be used as appropriate:

• Self-Care is for Life

• Get Better with Self-Care

• Treat yourself to better health

自2011年以来，与ISD有关的自我保健活动已在世界各地组织起来，远至孟加拉国、玻利维亚、巴西、加拿大、中国、伊朗、肯尼亚、墨西哥、缅甸、尼泊尔、南非、韩国、瑞士、坦桑尼亚、美国和越南。一些国家——英国和加拿大——已经组织了自我护理周。

Since 2011 self-care activities linked to ISD have been organised around the world, in countries as far apart as Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, Iran, Kenya, Mexico, Myanmar, Nepal, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Tanzania, the United States and Vietnam. Some countries – the UK and Canada – have organised self-care weeks.

ISD-related活动一直关注青年(如海报设计大赛,MOB flash舞蹈,和音乐会),老年人(社区参与项目,体检项目),公众(公共讲座,专家建议,赞助公共散步,足球和高尔夫比赛,太极类),职业卫生,药房(海报、药店经理培训),研究(自理习惯和行为),和媒体(媒体活动,报纸和期刊文章)。

ISD-related activities have been focused on youth (e.g. a poster design competition, mob flash dance, and concerts), seniors (community involvement programmes, physical examination programmes), the general public (public lectures, expert advice, sponsored public walks, football and golf matches, tai chi classes), occupational health, pharmacy (poster campaign, pharmacy manager training), research (on self-care habits and behaviour), and the media (media events, newspaper and journal articles).

我们很高兴美国参议院通过了一项决议，将7月24日定为国际自我保健日。参见第113届国会参议院第515号决议。2019年，加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多像往年一样，“向每一个庆祝国际自我关爱日的人致以最热烈的问候” (参见 http://selfcare.ca/self-care-day/)。

We are delighted that the Senate of the United States agreed a Resolution to designate July 24 as International Self-Care Day – see Senate Resolution 515 of the 113th Congress. In 2019, as in previous years, Canadian Prime Minister Mr Justin Trudeau extended “my warmest greetings to everyone marking International Self-Care Day” (see http://selfcare.ca/self-care-day/ ).

最引人注目的是，世界卫生组织在2019年宣布了一个“自护月”，从6月24日开始，到7月24日结束，以配合国际自护日。这是为了突出世卫组织和伙伴在区域和国家一级采取的主动行动

Most notably, in 2019 the World Health Organisation announced a “Self-Care Month” starting on 24 June and ending on 24 July to coincide with International Self-Care Day. This was to allow for regional and national level initiatives by WHO and partners to be highlighted
