The WHO Effective Communications Participant Handbook was created to support WHO staff around the world in enhancing their communications skills as part of the global communications capacity-building efforts of the WHO Department of Communications (DCO)
The Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (CMH) was established by World Health Organization Director-General Gro Harlem Brundtland in January 2000 to assess the place of health in global economic development.
