WHO Introduction
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health and for providing the highest attainable standard of health services to those in need. Established on April 7, 1948, the WHO sought to foster international cooperation in the wake of World War II. Since the adoption of its constitution, the WHO’s efforts have extended to the global eradication of smallpox, control of malaria, and the expansion of the immunisation programmes. The primary role of the WHO and its members is to set global health policies, expand collective efforts for universal health coverage, and prevent disease outbreaks. Furthermore, the current trajectory of WHO developments is focused on limiting the misuse of antimicrobials without compromising healthcare equity.
