in Geneva, Switzerland, the agency inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health
Organization.
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 diseases, especially key infectious diseases, and

consumption of fruits and vegetables worldwide and to discourage tobacco use. Experts met at the

vaccine development had achieved encouraging progress. More than 40 clinic trials have been
