استخدام اللغة العربية في منظمة الصحة العالمية (الجزء الأول)

The course of Arabic in WHO began in September 1954 when the Regional Subcommittee “A” requested the Regional Director to study the possibility of using Arabic as a working language for WHO in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. At WHO Headquarters, Arabic was used as an official language in the World Health Assembly in May 1972, and became a working language for the Organization in May 1975. This article reviews the progression of the use of Arabic in WHO since then.
