The World Health Organsiation :)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. The WHO Constitution states its main objective as "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health". The WHO's mandate seeks and includes: working worldwide to promote health, keeping the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. It advocates that a billion more people should have: universal health care coverage, engagement with the monitoring of public health risks, coordinating responses to health emergencies, and promoting health and well-being!
WHat is the WOrld health organisation?
The WHO estimates that 12.6 million people died as a result of living or working in an unhealthy environment in 2012 – this accounts for nearly 1 in 4 of total global deaths. Environmental risk factors, such as air, water, and soil pollution, chemical exposures, climate change, and ultraviolet radiation, contribute to more than 100 diseases and injuries. This can result in a number of pollution-related diseases.
What else does WHO do?
Oh! and they do CRVS (civil registration and vital statistics) to provide monitoring of vital events (birth, death, wedding, divorce)...
What is it's role?
As of 2012, the WHO has defined its role in public health as follows:-providing leadership on matters critical to health and engaging in partnerships where joint action is needed;-shaping the research agenda and stimulating the generation, translation, and dissemination of valuable knowledge;-setting norms and standards and promoting and monitoring their implementation;-articulating ethical and evidence-based policy options;-providing technical support, catalysing change, and building organised space; and-monitoring the health situation and assessing health trends.

SOME of the Operational History
1947: The WHO established an epidemiological information service via telex.1965: The first report on diabetes mellitus and the creation of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.1967: The WHO intensified the global smallpox eradication campaign by contributing $2.4 million annually to the effort and adopted a new disease surveillance method, at a time when 2 million people were dying from smallpox per year. The initial problem the WHO team faced was inadequate reporting of smallpox cases. WHO established a network of consultants who assisted countries in setting up surveillance and containment activities.The WHO also helped contain the last European outbreak in Yugoslavia in 1972.After over two decades of fighting smallpox, a Global Commission declared in 1979 that the disease had been eradicated – the first disease in history to be eliminated by human effort.1998: WHO's director-general highlighted gains in child survival, reduced infant mortality, increased life expectancy and reduced rates of "scourges" such as smallpox and polio on the fiftieth anniversary of WHO's founding. He, did, however, accept that more had to be done to assist maternal health and that progress in this area had been slow.2001: The measles initiative was formed, and credited with reducing global deaths from the disease by 68% by 2007.2006: WHO endorsed the world's first official HIV/AIDS Toolkit for Zimbabwe, which formed the basis for global prevention, treatment, and support the plan to fight the AIDS pandemic.2016: Following the perceived failure of the response to the West Africa Ebola outbreak, the World Health Emergencies programme was formed, changing the WHO from just being a "normative" agency to one that responds operationally to health emergencies.2020: WHO helped in controlling the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19).2022: WHO suggests formation of a Global Health Emergency Council, with new global health emergency workforce, recommends revision of the International Health Regulations.
