Which statement about the World Health Organization is true?

• A. It is the oldest global health agency
• B. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland
• C. It has no regional offices
• D. It is funded solely by private donors

Answer: (B)

The true statement is that the World Health Organization is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. This location serves as its global headquarters as a United Nations specialized agency established in 1948 to coordinate and lead international health work. WHO also operates regional offices around the world to address health issues in different regions, reflecting its structure and reach beyond a single location.

Funding for WHO comes from multiple sources, including assessed contributions from member states and voluntary contributions from governments, private donors, foundations, and other partners. So it is not funded solely by private donors. And while WHO is a major global health organization, it is not the oldest; earlier international health organizations and health-focused entities existed before 1948.
