The World Health Organization (WHO) is the United Nations’ leading global health agency, dedicated to promoting health, keeping the world safe from epidemics and emergencies, and serving vulnerable populations. Founded in 1948, the WHO coordinates international public health responses, sets medical standards, monitors health trends, and promotes universal health coverage in partnership with its 194 Member States
At JRL CHARTS, our WHO tag curates authoritative reporting on WHO actions, policy decisions, major global health initiatives, and the implications of shifts in membership or funding — including how changes like the U.S. withdrawal affect global disease surveillance, vaccine guidance, and public health equity.
We also spotlight how WHO programs and policies intersect with LGBTQ health and rights — from efforts to reduce discrimination in health care and improve well-being for LGBTIQ+ people, to guidelines that support gender-affirming care and inclusive health services worldwide.
