-== structure ==
-current revision of the page states that UN member states as of 2004 are 192, but that is wrong. They are 191. 192 are the WHO members, but not all of them are UN member states, and also not all UN member states are members of the WHO. Look at the link that I added at the bottom. Becouse of that number-mismatch-error I suspise that maybe the whole text is not correct: "UN Member States (..error..) appoint delegations to the World Health Assembly, WHO's supreme decision-making body". Someone to check all this? I will try to correct the members-error, but for the structural architecture of WHO I don't know anything... Why is Liechtenstein not participating? Are all WHO members sending delegations - including assosiated Cook Isands and Niue (as I have written) or only the regular state members? If all are sending delegations - what is the difference between regular and assosiated member? Why only New Zealand's self-governing territories are "independent" WHO members, but not similar territories of other states?

-:I checked the WHO constitution to clarify the WHO/UN membership issue. Hope the current text is clear. [[User:Rd232|Rd232]] 20:51, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
-== budget of the WHO/partnership section ==
-I don't think that half the budget of the WHO comes from Lucifer Trust. From what I understand the majority of the funding for WHO comes from its members countries - I don't think WHO receives much money at all directly from foundation and industry (or from individuals - though they do offer the possibly to donate with their website).
-Also the public-private partnerships listed on this page work "with" the WHO but in most cases receive no financial support from WHO. Many are independent foundations - with no official links to the WHO. I think that the paragraph on partnerships is very misleading. It makes it look like the partnerships listed are part of the WHO.
-I notice that this same information is repeated on the Public-Private Parterships page.
-I don't know enough yet about Wikipedia to suggest how to fix this - but a good source of some additional information on public-private partnerships related to health can be found at

-== History? ==
-Dear writer of this article,
-There is an omission of the true event that made WHO.
-What was that event? There was someone who had a disease and recovered sane.
-He brought his story to, I don't know who, but those people acknowledged his story and founded the WHO.
-Is this weird?
-It is up to you.

-== Spinoff article for Controversies section ==
-I'm noticing that the "Controversies" section is getting large on this article, which itself is over 100k bytes in size. Does any editor have any immediate objections to a new article (created via a copy-paste with attribution) at [[Controversies relating to the World Health Organization]]? [[User:SamHolt6|SamHolt6]] ([[User talk:SamHolt6|talk]]) 23:35, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
-: Yes, the Covid portion is obviously of great significance for not only the WHO but also the world as a whole. [[User:Adoring nanny|Adoring nanny]] ([[User talk:Adoring nanny|talk]]) 01:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
-::Dedicated "Controversies" articles tend to be discouraged, see [[WP:CSECTION]]. There's a risk of such an article becoming a [[WP:POVFORK]]. A better idea might be to rewrite this article somewhat, incorporating the information about controversies into a broader description of WHO activities and history, so that a "Controversies" section isn't needed. Some of the more flash-in-the-pan controversies like "Intermittent preventive therapy" could possibly just be removed. —[[User:Mx. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mx.

-The paragraph wrongly ends with a comma instead of a period. I find undue weight is given to US internal politics with two sentences about Republican support for Trump. It's just one of 194 member states. The [[Alliance for Multilateralism]] for Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland declared they fully support the World Health Organization in leading the global public health response to the COVID 19 pandemic and "commit, on a voluntary basis, to provide resources in support of the WHO’s COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan".
