WHO Q&A
Q1:What is the World Health Organization(WHO)?
The World Health Organization (WHO) was a result of the International Health Conference held in 1946, in which, the Constitution of the World Health Organization was passed. And with a majority approval of the United Nation’s members, the World Health Organization was formally established as a special agency of the UN in 1948.
