The World Health Organization, a special United Nations public health coordinatig body h a vital role in global public health development and improvement is celebrating its 75th anniversary. One of its founders and its first president was Andrija Štampar who created its 10 main postulates that are still extremely relevant. Until today, the World Health Organization has achieved extraordinary global feats, from narrowly focused ones, such as smallpox eradication, to wider-aiming ones, such as the implementation of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness strategy.
