How do the World Health organisation make use of health statistics?
WHO has its representative offices almost in every country of the world where its consultants work analysing these statistics, working with the local governments to prevent diseases, decreasing their occurance, helping them both with experties as well resources.


WHO organises World Health Assembly after every few years where all these facts %26amp; figures are analysed by representatives of all countries %26amp; new plans are made in addition to going through the results of old ones. A comprehensive report is published for all countries.
