The International Health Conference, convened by the United Nations in New York in the summer of 1946, adopted a Constitution for a World Health Organization. It set up an Interim Commission of persons designated by eighteen named states to prepare for the First World Health Assembly and to carry on tasks inherited from previous international organizations. Unexpected delays in ratifications of the Constitution obliged the Interim Commission to operate for two years. WHO has thus been free to shape its destiny only from the time of the First World Health Assembly in the summer of 1948; it began its work formally as of September 1, 1948. The activities from 1946 to 1948 were largely determined by heritages from earner organizations; these, indeed, dominated the first program of WHO. The intervening three years have witnessed new trends, which some observers applaud and others view with doubt, if not alarm. It may be fruitful at this time to record some of these trends, to note the pressures which caused them and their implications for WHO's program and work-plan.

Diabetes Melitus

World Health Organization (WHO) pada tahun 2015 menyatakan bahwa Indonesia menempati peringkat ke tujuh dunia untuk prevalensi penderita diabetes tertinggi di dunia. Dinyatakan bahwa diabetes merupakan penyebab utama penyakit kebutaan, serangan jantung, stroke, gagal ginjal, dan amputasi kaki. Namun, 80% diabetes dapat dicegah atau kejadiannya dapat ditunda dengan tata laksana pengobatan dan pola makan yang baik. Seperti permasalahan yang ditemukan pada mitra yaitu Klinik Griya Sehat Ampel Gading Medical Center yang berlokasi di Jalan Raya Tirtomarto, Kabupaten Malang adalah banyaknya pasien penderita diabetes. Pusat Data dan Informasi, Kementrian Kesehatan RI pada tahun 2014, pasien penderita diabetes dicanangkan pesan gaya hidup sehat yaitu PATUH dan CERDIK. Dalam bidang ICT (Information and Communication Technology) pesan gaya hidup sehat ini kemudian dituangkan dalam aplikasi berbasis desktop yang dapat digunakan sebagai penghitung kebutuhan kalori untuk penderita diabetes melitus. Aplikasi ini mendeteksi kebutuhan kalori menggunakan metode logika fuzzy, dengan memperhatikan parameter yang telah ditentukan seperti berat badan dan usia. Hasil program kemitraan ini menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi dapat meminimalisasi kesalahan penghitungan kebutuhan kalori pasien diabetes yang sebelumnya dilakukan secara konvensional oleh tenaga medis, dengan interface yang bersifat user friendly. Dengan diterapkannya sistem ini diharapkan dapat memperbaiki kualitas hidup pasien penderita diabetes.
