The WHO Urban Health Programme focuses on improving health and well-being in cities worldwide. It works to address challenges like pollution, housing, sanitation, access to healthcare, and social inequalities that affect urban residents. By promoting policies, sharing knowledge, and supporting local efforts, the program aims to create healthier, more sustainable urban environments where people can live longer, healthier lives. It recognizes that growing cities need targeted strategies to tackle unique health issues and ensure equitable access to resources for all residents.
