The long separation of health and International Relations, as distinct academic fields and policy arenas, has now dramatically changed. Health, concerned with the body, mind and spirit, has traditionally focused on disease and infirmity, whilst International Relations has been dominated by concerns of war, peace and security.
Focusing on international health cooperation, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the World Health Organization. It delves into the organization's structure, functions, and impact on global health policies, highlighting its role in addressing health challenges worldwide. Through detailed insights, readers will gain an understanding of how the WHO collaborates with nations to improve health outcomes and tackle pressing health issues.
