Ten Years of WHO Progress

At the Eleventh World Health Assembly in May 1958 in Minneapolis, the World Health Organization can look in retrospect at 10 productive years, each increasingly significant to mankind. Through its growing network of activities, whether they are part of the total war against malaria, eradication of yaws, or of environmental efforts less dramatic but equally vital, WHO has left its beneficial mark in the remotest corners of the world. Also high on the list of WHO contributions is an achievement outside the realm of health: the agency has demonstrated a working design for worldwide cooperative action on a common front. On the occasion of the World Health Organization's tenth anniversary, the following pages are devoted to papers reflecting the agency's dynamic growth and accomplishments. Additional papers will be published following the assembly.
