The World Health Organization (WHO) is a UN agency that focuses on promoting health, ensuring global health security, and improving access to essential healthcare services. Founded in 1948, its main purpose is to coordinate international efforts to combat diseases and strengthen health systems worldwide. WHO was created in the aftermath of World War II, in response to the urgent need for global cooperation in health to prevent future crises. By setting health standards, providing guidance, and supporting countries in responding to outbreaks and health emergencies, WHO works to achieve better health and well-being for all people.
