WFOT celebrates 50 years of collaboration with WHO

Abstract

From the beginning of its collaborative relationship with WHO fifty years ago, WFOT has been actively involved in supporting the strategic objectives and activities of the WHO. Many of these activities have taken place through the efforts of individual volunteer occupational therapy experts around the world invited by WFOT. These contributions have been an important aspect of WFOT’s international work. As the work of WFOT continues to grow, the efforts of our WFOT delegates and individual members continue to support the outreach and collaborative efforts of our Federation. This article notes the initiation of collaboration through the efforts of WFOT founders and the stages of development that has taken place over the decades.
