Q: Discuss World Health Organization?

Ans: The W. H. O. has its objective the attainment by all peoples of the 'Highest possible level of health'. Its activities include advisory services to the Nations of the World, the development of their health administration and general technical services for promotion of the study of the health problems, establishment of an international pharmacopoeia and publication of health statistics.

The main organs of the World Health organisation are Assembly, the Executive Board and the Secretariat. The World Health Assembly is the Legislative Organ and meets once a year to determine the policy and the programme of World Health Organization. The Executive Board is a smaller body and meets at least twice a year to give effects to the decisions of the General Assembly. The Secretariat under the Director General is engaged in the administrative work of the W. H. O. Besides these,  there are a number of expert and technical committees which assist the organization in the discharge of its functions.

The WHO's Constitution states that its objective "is the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health". The first priorities of WHO were to control the spread of malaria, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted infections, and to improve maternal and child health, nutrition and environmental hygiene. Its first legislative act was concerning the compilation of accurate statistics on the spread and morbidity of disease. The logo of the World Health Organization features the Rod of Asclepiusas , a symbol for healing.

WHO is a member of the United Nations Development Group.

The Headquarter is in Geneva , Switzerland.
