Impact of WHO: how has WHO affected the world?

WHO (World health organization) has effected the world greatly. The world health organization sends its representatives to countries in need, such as Kenya. For one thing WHO has eradicated the small pox disease, in many different countries but due to war and other problems the spread of small pox is still a large concern. They encouraged people to receive vaccines and run many campaigns to stop and eradicate Polio. It really shows what a difference they are making. In the year of 1988 there were 350000 cases of Polio, and in 2001 that number has dropped below 1000. Considering the fact that they have a small budget for something that many countries need WHO has done quite a bit. They have gained cooperation between countries to fight disease, which no country would be able to do on its own.

What is the historical background of the world health organization?

In the early 1900s serious outbreaks of cholera emerged. Due to this a meeting was held in Europe to talk about disease and health issues and health management. The health organization was established in 1920 but didn’t actually become a world wide organization until the United Nations was formed in 1940 that strong international connections were made. In 1949, WHO, finally established as a true world wide organization. It only encouraged the UN’s constitution to help aid and harmonize countries.

How is the world health organization structured?

Who is part of the U.N. The organization has many different bases in other countries around the world and in those bases are represented by thousands doctors and health experts as well as several director generals. Every May, the representatives meet to discuss what needs to be done that year and as they set goals they send more people out to countries that are in need more than others (such countries as Cambodia.).
