World Health Organization (WHO)

The UN's World Health Organization (WHO) is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, providing technical support to countries and monitoring health trends.

Every year, the WHO publishes the World Malaria Report to share data on the impact of malaria prevention/treatment interventions, as well as point out the remaining gaps to fill in order to reach the global goal of ending malaria deaths by 2015. Read the 2010 report.
