"WHO" as an acronym stands for World Health Organization. 🌎 It's an international agency that directs and coordinates international health within the United Nations' system. Established in 1948 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, WHO's mission is to promote worldwide health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. Its main areas of work include health systems; health through the life-course; noncommunicable and communicable diseases; preparedness, surveillance and response; and corporate services. WHO also has specific duties to perform during health emergencies. The organization is responsible for the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the World Health Report, its leading annual publication. Its implementation of health initiatives globally has had a profound impact on managing pandemics and enhancing public health. 😊
