Responding to Health Emergencies Around the World
The world’s most vulnerable people urgently need your support. They are often the first impacted by climate change, political conflicts and war, disease outbreaks, and economic factors which limit their access to basic goods and health care. These factors combine to put health interventions out of reach, just when vulnerable people need them most.
Its local presence in over 150 countries means that when an emergency strikes, WHO can act as a first responder, while also providing continuous essential health services in protracted emergencies.
Your donations to WHO’s emergency response appeals help to ensure vulnerable people are protected and supported to survive and go on to live healthy lives.

“Collective effort is vital in ensuring the world is prepared to face the immense health challenges that emergencies bring. We have seen that funding is not always available to power responses equally. We want to ensure that every emergency gets the same level of support in every part of the world.”
— Anil Soni, WHO Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer
