The World Health Organization is the United Nations
specialized agency for health. It was established on 7 April 1948. WHO's objective, as set out in
its Constitution, is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible
level of health. Health is defined in WHO's
Constitution as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. WHO is governed by 192
Member States through the World Health Assembly.
The Health Assembly is composed of representatives from WHO's Member States.
The main tasks of the World Health Assembly are to approve the WHO programme and the budget for
the following biennium and to decide major policy questions.
