Today, WHO works in more than 150 countries to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve vulnerable populations, with the goal of advancing universal health coverage, strengthening protection from health emergencies, and improving health and well-being for all.

WHO Angola also works closely with a range of development partners, including the European Investment Bank, the Government of Japan, and other international and national stakeholders, making strong donor visibility and strategic communication essential.
