Bank Joins Forces with the WHO for Better Global Health Investments

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Bank addressed the pressing
global debate around health systems and initiatives in specific aspects of
health, nutrition and population as the global AIDS conference got underway

institutions, and civil society organizations. The WHO - Bank collaboration
will examine and combine the strengths of different approaches around the
world in order to get better results from investments and improve health
outcomes for all. Read more
