Mission and objectivesGood health is a precious thing. When we are healthy we can learn, work, and support ourselves and our families. When we are sick, we struggle, and our families and communities fall behind. Thatโs why the World Health Organization is needed. 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. The principle that all people should enjoy the highest standard of health, regardless of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition, has guided WHOโs work for the past 70 years, since it was first set up as the lead agency for international health in the new United Nations system. WHO works worldwide to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. Our goal is to ensure that a billion more people have universal health coverage, to protect a billion more people from health emergencies, and provide a further billion people with better health and well-being.
