How It All Started

Published 04:15

On December 2, 1902, at the First International Sanitary Convention of the Americas in Washington, D.C., 11 nations joined to form an International Sanitary Bureau for the Americas, that has become today’s Pan American Health Organization. The idea was to drive progress in international health collaboration as well as solve the health problems that were interfering with international trade in the Americas.
