Brief Description
WHO is the directing and coordinating authority on international health within the United Nations system. WHO has 194 Member States and more than 7000 people working in 150 country offices, in 6 regional offices and at headquarter in Geneva. WHO offers internships globally in our country and regional offices, as well as at headquarters.

Most students are placed in health-related programmes, although placements in other area of work like for example communication, external relations, finance or human resources are also possible.
