Since its formation in 1948, the World Health Organization has worked toward its goal of ensuring global health and well-being. As the leading authority on international health in the United Nations system, WHO creates standards for international medical practice, guides research, promotes global health campaigns, and provides technical support in the form of supplies and health workers. The organization also places heavy emphasis on monitoring global health threats, which has enabled the prevention of epidemics and improved humanitarian responses to disasters. A special focus is placed on promoting health for more vulnerable populations through initiatives focused on developing countries, people with disabilities, and mothers and young children.
