Which organization is headquartered in Geneva and leads international health initiatives?

• A. World Health Organization
• B. World Trade Organization
• C. World Bank
• D. UNICEF

Answer: (A)

Global health leadership is centered in the UN system through a specialized agency dedicated to health. The organization headquartered in Geneva that leads international health initiatives is the World Health Organization. It was created to tackle global health issues, sets international health norms and standards, provides technical support to countries, monitors health trends, and coordinates responses to health emergencies. Being based in Geneva places it among many key international health bodies and diplomacy efforts that cross borders. The other options focus on trade rules (even though located in Geneva), economic development, or children's welfare, rather than leading global health initiatives.
