Page "World Health Organization" Paragraph 32

In addition, the WHO has also promoted road safety.

Each year, the organization marks World Health Day focusing on a specific health promotion topic, timed to match the anniversary of WHO's founding.

Recent themes have been drug resistance ( 2011 ) and ageing ( 2012 ).

As part of the United Nations, the World Health Organization supports work towards the Millennium Development Goals.

Of the eight Millennium Development Goals, three – reducing child mortality by two-thirds, to reduce maternal deaths by three-quarters, and to halt and begin to reduce the spread of HIV / AIDS – relate directly to WHO's scope ; the other five inter-relate and have an impact on world health.
