The World Health Organization
Being a final year medical science student is something that I am so happy about. Medicine has always been a field that I want to be part of and I thank God today that I am en route my destination. Being healthy is not an luxury but the right of every individual on the earth hence the need for the relevant agencies involved in the regulation of global health not to rest on their oars until the best is achieved. According to the WHO, "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Dr. Margaret Chan- W.H.O. Director General
When she assumed office, Dr. Margaret Chan met a lot of changes with the herculean task of carrying the global health on her tiny shoulders. She however seems to be on top of her "game" owing to the recent landmark strides that the UN organization has made in recent times.
The WHO and other international agencies like the US CDC are going to be analyzed in this blog, welcome on board.
