Company profile
WHO began when our Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948 – a date we now celebrate every year as World Health Day. Working with 194 Member States, across six regions, and from more than 150 offices, WHO staff are united in a shared commitment to achieve better health for everyone, everywhere.
