The United Nations has designated 2021 as the International Year of Peace and Trust.

In 1948, the First World Health Assembly proposed the establishment of a World Health Day to commemorate the founding of the World Health Organization and to urge governments, organizations, and companies to invest in health and build a safer future.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is the leading global health authority within the United Nations System. The work of WHO is varied and can mostly be summarized through their 6 point agenda.

  • Promotes Development 
  • Fosters Health Security 
  • Strengthens Health Systems 
  • Harnesses information, research and evidence 
  • Enhances Partnerships
  • Improves Performance
