世界衛生組織是怎麼形成的？

After the war, according to the decision of the UN Economic and Social Council, representatives of 64 countries held an international health conference in New York in July 1946 and signed the law of the World Health Organization. On April 7, 1948, the law came into force after it was approved by 26 member states of the United Nations, and the World Health Organization was established.
