World Health Organisation

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. Established in 1948, its primary objective is to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve vulnerable populations. The WHO plays a crucial role in coordinating responses to global health emergencies, conducting research, and setting health standards. Recently, the organization has been in the news due to criticisms regarding its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in relation to the origins of the virus and public health measures implemented during the outbreak.
