Isn't the Ministry of Health an example?
Yes, correct! The Ministry of Health plans and implements health policies at the national level. Can anyone think of any international organization?
World Health Organization or WHO!
Great! The WHO coordinates global health initiatives and responds to outbreaks. Remembering these levels can be simplified with the acronym 'LNI': Local, National, and International.

They work on new treatments and vaccines, right?
Absolutely! Research is vital for advancing healthcare. Finally, what do they do in times of disaster?
Provide aid and medical support!

To finish, let’s talk about how we can support health organizations. Can anyone suggest a way to contribute?
We can participate in vaccination programs!
Yes! Participating in vaccination drives is a fantastic way to help. What are other ways we can contribute?
