on the occasion of the 75th World Health Day. Also I wish to extend my
congratulations to all the Health Human Resources of the World Health
Organization and it’s member states. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">On
22 July 1946 , Dr.Mohamed Hossein Hafezi, on behalf of the Iranian
Delegation to the International Health Conference suggested that the
birth of the WHO should be celebrated throughout the world by the
institution of a " World Health Day".</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Your Excellency</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I
have learned from my "Systems Thinking" mentor, Aboulfath Lameei, MD,
that "Health for All" is an eternal vision. He emphasizes that
approaching this eternal vision is not possible EXCEPT through using
systems thinking/systems science by all planetarians specially
politicians and policy makers of health care systems. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The
vision of "Health for All" can potentially create a strong global
social mobilization toward health and human wellbeing if all
planetarians choose it as the moral vision of their lives. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">As
a physician, Community Medicine specialist, and a planetarian I wrote a
short message to other planetarians about this moral vision. I am
sharing it with you:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am a planetarian,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The vision that I would like to live with in my entire life is "Health for all Planetarians",</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The vision reminds me that I should not invade the right to physical, mental and social health of the other planetarians,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The
vision reminds me that I should not invade the health of our planet
because the health of the planet is one of the main determinant for the
health of planetarians.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">As a planetarian, for getting closer to the vision of " Health for All", I should use Systems thinking/Systems Science.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best regards, </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Mohammad Zakaria Pezeshki, M.D.,M.P.H.</div><div dir="auto">Associate Professor</div><div dir="auto">Department of Community and Family Medicine,</div><div dir="auto">Tabriz Medical School, Golgasht Avenue, Tabriz, Iran,</div><div dir="auto">Tel: ++ 98 413 336 46 73</div><div dir="auto">Fax: ++ 98 413 336 46 68</div></div>
