The World Health Organization (WHO) was founded in 1948 as a committee devoted to protecting and improving public health worldwide. Delegates in WHO collaborate to address pressing global health challenges, promote health equity, create effective and accessible healthcare systems, and strive to create a healthier and more resilient global community. WHO plays a crucial role in coordinating international responses to health emergencies, such as pandemics and disease outbreaks, while also focusing on long-term health initiatives like disease prevention, health education, and strengthening healthcare systems. The organization emphasizes equity in health access and works to address social determinants of health, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive adequate care. Key programs include initiatives on infectious diseases, maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases, and mental health.
