The World Health Organization (WHO), as the United Nations
specialized agency for health, has been at the centre of
international health cooperation for over sixty years. With origins
dating from the nineteenth century, WHO's mandate is the attainment
by all people of the highest possible level of health. The huge
challenge of fulfilling this objective has not only required
high-level technical skills, but has led the organization to engage
with a broad range of political and economic interests. WHO has
enjoyed many high-profile successes such as the global eradication
of smallpox and SARS, and ongoing campaigns against polio and other
diseases. On other issues, such as essential drugs, tobacco control
and diet and nutrition, efforts to tackle the broader determinants
of health has brought the organization into contact with issues
such as globalization, poverty, social justice and human rights.
Kelley Lee analyzes the WHO's role in international cooperation,
examining its changing structures, key programmes and individuals.
Of particular focus are the challenges WHO has faced in recent
years given the emergence of other global health initiatives and
how WHO has sought to remain effective as the "world's health
conscience" within an increasingly complex global context.
