You can also celebrate World Health Day by learning about health and playing health games like Poop Shooter, Lanterns, and Micro Doctor. Thursday is the 8th of April, which makes it International Romani Day, which is about celebrating Roma culture and also being aware of the discrimination that they face.  Thursday is also Yom Hashoah which is a day set aside for Jewish people to remember the Holocaust. There is a live virtual event to commemorate Yom HaShoah on this day from 7:30-8:45 PM that you can find more about here.
