Abstract

Eighth World Health AssemblyThe Eighth World Health Assembly met in University City, Mexico from May 10 to 27, 1955, and elected Dr. I. M. Prieto (Mexico) as its president. In presenting his annual report, Dr. Candau, the Director- General of the World Health Organization (WHO) noted the need for a change in strategy in WHO's malaria-control program, and emphasized the possible implications which the new field of the peaceful use of atomic energy might have for WHO. During the general discussion of the Director-General's report, the delegates noted with satisfaction that WHO was placing more emphasis on long-term programs which might be integrated in the public health services of the countries assisted by WHO. Delegates also made suggestions for future programs including such matters as malaria eradication, environmental sanitation, nutrition, and mental health.
