    Author: Aly AM.
    Journal: East Mediterr Health J; 2008; 14 Suppl():S174-81. PubMed ID: 19205617.
    Abstract:
    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.
