We champion health and a better future for all
Dedicated to the well-being of all people and guided by science, the World Health Organization leads and champions global efforts to give everyone, everywhere an equal chance to live a healthy life.

Who we are




Founded in 1948, WHO is the United Nations agency that connects nations, partners and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health.

What we do




WHO leads global efforts to expand universal health coverage. We direct and coordinate the world’s response to health emergencies. And we promote healthier lives – from pregnancy care through old age. Our Triple Billion targets outline an ambitious plan for the world to achieve good health for all using science-based policies and programmes.





The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains a Country Office in Tanzania, which plays a pivotal role in supporting the nation's health initiatives. The office collaborates closely with the Tanzanian government to enhance public health systems, address disease outbreaks, and promote health equity.
