Health Conditions
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) that acts as a coordinating authority on international public health. Established on 7 April 1948, and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the agency inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health Organization, which had been an agency of the League of Nations. The WHO's constitution states that its objective "is the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health." Its major task is to combat disease, especially key infectious diseases, and to promote the general health of the people of the world. The Disabled World category of disability health conditions provides information on health and support for disabled people, including services, assessments, costs, and mental health, including male and female health issues and diseases. Disabled World aims to provide information to support disability health promotion and wellness initiatives for people with disabilities around the world by providing information that covers a wide range of disabilities, from cancer to sleep disorders. Our disability health area examines some of the inter-relationships among components of disability, health conditions and other related factors including delivering real improvements for disabled people as users and providers of health and social care services and the wider disabled community We also explore the relationship between severity of disability, health conditions, personal, and environmental factors, and seek to enhance health professions education, and to improve access for people with disabilities to health, health education and health care services. People's health is increasingly conceptualized in terms of their quality of life, what activities they can do, in what areas of life they are able to participate as they wish, and what long-term supports they need for living in the community. Because of recent website expansion we are in the process of combining categories that were previously listed on our home page into the sub-categories related to health below. A lot more information on various health topics can be found by clicking on the larger category headings. Some of our more popular informative articles are linked to under the main topics.
