President's Message
Welcome to the World Health Organization (WHO USA), where we are dedicated to promoting health, preventing disease, and ensuring access to quality care for all. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgent need for global health collaboration, especially as we continue to face the threat of new and re-emerging pathogens. As our world becomes more interconnected, the origins of these pathogens—whether from environmental changes, zoonotic transmission, or human activity—demand a proactive, science-based approach to prevent future outbreaks and protect global health.
At WHO USA, we are committed to advancing health equity, improving access to vaccines and treatments, and supporting innovative research to understand and mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. Together, we can build resilient healthcare systems, address health disparities and create a future where every individual has the opportunity to live a healthy life, free from the devastating effects of preventable illnesses.
Warm regards,
Kris Girish
President, WHO USA
