WORLD HEALTH ACTIVITY IN 1969

THE effective budget of the World Health Organization for 1969 was established by the World Health Assembly in 1968 at $62,121,700. The figure for 1971, adopted at the twenty-third World Health Assembly in May, 1970, is to be $73,230,000. These are large amounts of money in themselves, but they are by no means extravagant budget figures for a world body actively concerned with the world's health. Indeed they look niggardly when compared with what our own small country spends on a single new airport or the State of New South Wales spends on an opera house. They are a drop in the ocean when compared with world expenditure on adventures in space. At the same time, even though we accept in principle that the amounts are not excessive for the tasks that need to be done, it is still fair to ask if the money has been well spent. What happened to 1969's budget of $62,121,700? Did it do a job? The answer is in the Annual Report for 1969 of the Director-General of WHO, Dr M. G. Candau," and we cannot think that anyone reasonable would be dissatisfied with this account of WHO's stewardship. The Report is, as usual, divided into three parts with a series of annexes. The first part is a general review, the second deals with the situation by regions, the third is an annotated list of projects. The tone of the report is realistic. It documents a great deal of activity and planning; it records and seeks to assess the results: It tells of success and failure, of enthusiasm and sad apathy. It offers a measure of real encouragement, but it is set against what Dr Candau describes as a "background of unsolved problems and unmet needs". An essential point in the definition of WHO's work is that it is international, whether that means nations combining and sharing in facilities, knowledge, finance and current facts to promote the health of the whole, or some nations providing from what they have of health resources to help those which have a need. Within these limits the scope is still large, as is evident from the subject matter of the 12 chapters of the general review: (i) communicable diseases; (ii) malaria and other parasitic
