Which of the following is NOT an international agency or organization related to global health?

• A. World Health Organization (WHO)
• B. UNICEF
• C. International Council of Nurses (ICN)
• D. USDHHS

Answer: (D)

The key idea is distinguishing organizations with a formal international mandate from those that operate mainly within a single country. The World Health Organization functions as the global health authority within the United Nations, coordinating international health work, setting norms, and guiding health policies across many countries. UNICEF also works internationally under the UN umbrella to improve children’s health and well-being around the world. The International Council of Nurses is an international federation that brings together nursing associations from multiple countries to influence global nursing practice and health policy.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services is a national government department focused on health and human services within the United States. Its primary mission is domestic policy and programs, not a multinational, globally mandated organization. Therefore, it is not an international agency or organization related to global health.
