Our work with Japan
The World Health Organization (WHO) was established on 7 April 1948 with an ambitious goal – ensure the highest attainable level of health for all people.
More than 7000 WHO staff members all over the world collaborate with governments and other partners to build a healthier world. WHO operates as an independent specialized agency of the United Nations.
WHO assists countries in building robust national health systems and in preparing for and responding to emergencies. We lead the fight against noncommunicable diseases
(NCDs), such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes that cause millions of premature deaths every year.
