To advance the goals of global health, each health system must have a capable and innovative health workforce at its core. Countries require a pool of health professionals who have been educated about and exposed to the systems and procedures in the healthcare industry and who are familiar with how different stakeholders interact on a global scale.
Building a diverse pool of potential public health leaders is a priority for WHO, which is the world authority on public health concerns. The WHO Internship Programme provides a variety of chances for college students and recent graduates to learn more about the technical and administrative programs of WHO and to broaden their knowledge and experience in a variety of fields, advancing public health.
