is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible
level of health. Health is defined in WHO's Constitution
as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being

WHO is governed by 192 Member States through the World Health Assembly. The
Health Assembly is composed of representatives from WHO's Member States.
The main tasks of the World Health Assembly are to approve the WHO programme
and the budget for the following biennium and to decide major policy questions. |
