Conclusion
Notas do Editor
The World Health Organization was created in 1948 to coordinate health affairs within the United Nations system.
Its initial priorities were malaria, tuberculosis, venereal disease and other communicable diseases, plus women and children’s health, nutrition and sanitation.
From the start, it worked with member countries to identify and address public health issues, support health research and issue guidelines.
It also classified diseases.
In addition to governments, WHO coordinated with other UN agencies, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector.
Investigating and managing disease outbreaks was the responsibility of each individual country,
although under the International Health Regulations, governments were expected to report cases of a few contagious diseases such as plague, cholera and yellow fever.
WHO had no authority to police what member countries did.
By 2003 WHO, headquartered in Geneva, was organized into 141 country offices which reported to six regional offices.
It had 192 member countries and employed about 8,000 doctors, scientists, epidemiologists, managers and administrators worldwide
