The World Health Authority, or WHA, is an agency of the World Assembly (WA) based at the WA Headquarters in sovereign WA territory. Its stated purpose at its creation was to monitor, identify, and manage threats to global health, and to coordinate international response to threats to public health. Since then, additional duties have been added to its remit by the General Assembly, with various pieces of legislation also creating child agencies of the WHA which are tasked with specific responsibilities.
The WHA maintains offices in most World Assembly member nations, with some more specialised tasks forces located in nations experiencing significant public health issues, or other problems under the purview of the WHA or its child agencies. As with other World Assembly agencies, all member states are under the responsibility of the World Health Authority.
