WHO is a specialized agency of the UNITED NATIONS system, and is the leading technical agency on matters relating to public health, worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been providing technical assistance to the Government of the Peoples? Republic of Bangladesh for the development and strengthening of the country?s public health systems since 1972. WHO defines health "as a state of complete, physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". To realize the objective of attaining the highest possible level of health by all people, WHO has formulated a corporate strategy comprised of seven strategic directions and six core functions, which provide a broad framework for focusing WHO's collaboration with countries. In addition, a six-year Medium-term Strategic Plan based on thirteen strategic objectives (SOs) has been developed for Bangladesh and other SEAR countries.
