HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN HEALTHCARE

Summary/Abstract: The roots of the World Health Organization (WHO) can be traced to the development of the international community’s efforts since the mid-nineteenth century to regulate health issues. They are in response to pandemic threats to Western Europe. Due to the new technologies for shipping and the development of rail transport, increased world trade and travel, cholera and subsequently yellow fever and bubonic plague are leaving their traditional endemic places in the colonies and poorer countries and reach the economically advanced countries of Western Europe. Many Europeans are beginning to believe that a period of real progress on sanitation could occur in the mid-nineteenth century. This article examines the historical development of international health cooperation from the mid-19th century to the creation of the World Health Organization in 1948.
