Abstract
The International sanitary conferences originally held on 23 June, 1851 was the first predecessor of the WHO. A series of 14 conferences from 1851 to 1938 of international sanitary conferences worked to combat many diseases chief among of them are cholera, yellow fever and the bubonic plague. In 1892 the international sanitary conference dealt with cholera and in 1897 the convention for plague was signed. As a result of successes of the conferences, the Pan American Sanitary Bureu and the office International dÂ’Hygiene Publique were soon founded in 1902 and 1907 respectively. When the League of Nations was formed in 1920, they established the Health organisation of the league of Nations. After world war II the united Nations absorved all the other Health organisations to form the WHO.
