Definition:
Specialized agency of the United Nations, established in 1948, governed by the World Health Assembly. Technical committees and regional organizations further the purpose of the WHO: “the attainment by all people of the highest level of health.” It publishes the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
Property Insurance
Property insurance insures against loss or damage to the location of the business and its contents. It can also insure the property of others in your control when the loss occurs. Property insurance can be for a specific risk. For example, a fire insurance policy insures only against a fire loss to the location. A tornado is not a fire and, therefore, that loss would not be covered. The insured location can be owned, leased or rented. |
What in World Health Organzation?
Origins of the WHO: The International Health Conference adopted WHO’s constitution in July 1946. Later, on April 7, 1948, the United Nations set up The World Health Organization as a specialized agency dedicated to health. The WHO international office is in Geneva, Switzerland.
Mission and Constitution: The mission of the WHO is help achieve the well-being of the world’s people. Well being to the WHO does not only mean being free from disease, but being mentally, physically and socially healthy. WHO is comprised of 192 member states who govern the WHO by way of the World Health Assembly. The Assembly decides on the WHO’s two year program, budget and the direction of major policies.
The WHO provides assistance in monitoring, and in responding to and suppresing outbreaks.
WHO Governing Constitution: The Basic Texts include all the fundamental documents of the WHO, its constitution, members states, and agreements with other organizations. The compiled document available online is an unwieldy text of hundreds of pages long. At any rate, these documents are a wealth of information about how the WHO works.
