WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is one of the UN's specialized agencies and a member of the United Nations Development Group. It is predominantly concerned with matters of public health with a leading role in communicable diseases, the mitigation of the effects of non-communicable diseases, development, and aging; nutrition, food security and healthy eating; occupational health; substance abuse; and driving the development of reporting, publications, and networking.
While its predecessors were a variety of health organizations and Sanitary Conferences, all of them were absorbed to form WHO since its establishment on 7th of April 1978, which constitutes World Health Day. The idea of an international health organization was conceived by the Chinese, Brazilian and Norwegian delegates in the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization and its constitution was signed by all then 51 member states, along with ten others, in 1946.
