World’s Horrible Organization (World Health Organization or WHO nickname)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations concerned with public health. Some critics have claimed that WHO carries out a political (not health) agenda of the United Nations, and WHO has been nicknamed the “World Horrible Organization” or “World’s Horrible Organization.”
   
The nickname became popular during the 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. “WHO World Horrible Organization” was posted on Twitter by Hirano.Ken on January 26, 2020. “World’s Horrible Organization = WHO” was posted on Twitter by SpaceGhost on April 17, 2020.
   
Other World Health Organization (WHO) nicknames include “We Hide Outbreaks,” “World Harm Organization,” “World Hell Organization,” “World Hoax Organization,” “World Holocaust Organization,” “World Homicide Organization,” “World Horror Organization,” “Worst Health Organization” and “Wuhan Health Organization.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. The WHO Constitution, which establishes the agency’s governing structure and principles, states its main objective as ensuring “the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.” It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with six semi-autonomous regional offices and 150 field offices worldwide.
 
The WHO was established in 7 April 1948, which is commemorated as World Health Day. The first meeting of the World Health Assembly (WHA), the agency’s governing body, took place on 24 July 1948. The WHO incorporated the assets, personnel, and duties of the League of Nations’ Health Organisation and the Office International d’Hygiène Publique, including the International Classification of Diseases. Its work began in earnest in 1951 following a significant infusion of financial and technical resources.
