World Health Organization
About the Author
The World Health Organization (WHO), established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations, is dedicated to promoting health, keeping the world safe, and serving the vulnerable through collaborative efforts worldwide. With a global network of experts, WHO develops evidence-based guidelines, conducts research, and publishes authoritative resources to address public health challenges, from infectious diseases to non-communicable conditions. Its publications, such as the ICD-10: International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems Volume 1, serve as foundational tools for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers, standardizing disease classification to improve diagnostics, epidemiology, and health statistics across nations. Through these works, WHO advances equitable health outcomes and informs global strategies for pandemic preparedness and sustainable development.
