The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) that is concerned with international public health. It was established on 7 April 1948, with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and is a member of the United Nations Development Group. Its predecessor, the Health Organization, was an agency of the League of Nations.
The constitution of the World Health Organization had been signed by all 61 countries of the United Nations by 22 July 1946, with the first meeting of the World Health Assembly finishing on 24 July 1948. It incorporated the Office International d'Hygiène Publique and the League of Nations Health Organization. Since its creation, WHO has been responsible for playing a leading role in the eradication of smallpox. Its current priorities include communicable diseases, in particular, HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis; the mitigation of the effects of non-communicable diseases; sexual and reproductive health, development, and ageing; nutrition, food security and healthy eating; substance abuse; and drive the development of reporting, publications, and networking. WHO is responsible for the World Health Report, a leading international publication on health, the worldwide World Health Survey, and World Health Day.
Health organizations vary in scope from municipal to global. The World Health Organization is a health organization of global scope. Organizations exist for all fields of health, such as medicine, health promotion, and health education.
World is a common name for the whole of human civilization, specifically human experience, history, or the human condition in general, worldwide, i.e. anywhere on Earth.
In a philosophical context it may refer to: (1) the whole of the physical Universe, or (2) an ontological world (see world disclosure). In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.
World history is commonly understood as spanning the major geopolitical developments of about five millennia, from the first civilizations to the present.
World population is the sum of all human populations at any time; similarly, world economy is the sum of the economies of all societies (all countries), especially in the context of globalization. Terms like world championship, gross world product, world flags etc. also imply the sum or combination of all current-day sovereign states.

Within the depths of darkness
Amidst the delusive fog
There waits a path to nowhere
Forthright be stepped upon
Walking through the heinous forest
The panic and rush of fright
She feels them coming nearer
Hereon will lead the rite
Shadows overwhelm her soul
Exceeding anxiety
Their shadows overtake her thoughts
Thick in obscurity
Organize to control
The power compels your soul
Organize to control
Speak the incantation
Follow the ordination
Enter the Organization
Convene outside the temple
Hear the responsive roar
The prayers of deprivation
Foretell what lies in store
Running from the grave believers
Try to evade the chase
They see she's growing weary
And now it is too late
Organize to control
The power compels your soul
Organize to control
Fall to your knees and crawl
Organize to control
The power compels your soul
Organize to control
Speak the incantation
Follow the ordination
