Mission and objectivesWHO in the Western Pacific Together with 37 Member States and areas, we fight infectious diseases like dengue and malaria, and noncommunicable diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Through immunization campaigns and initiatives such as First Embrace, we help mothers and children survive and thrive. We ensure the safety of our environment, our air, our water and our food – all of which impact our health every day. We prepare for and rapidly respond to disasters and emergencies, never losing sight of the fact that we are dealing with issues of life and death. With the stakes so high, we strive for excellence in working to bring better health and well-being to the nearly 1.9 billion people of the Western Pacific Region.
ContextWPRO (World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific) commissioned a study on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to COVID-19.

They are essential for designing targeted interventions and policies that address specific community needs during health crises like COVID-19.
