  • expose students to the work of WHO
  • provide WHO programmes with input from students specializing in various fields. Most students are placed in health-related programmes 

The duration of WHO internships is between six to twenty four weeks depending on the needs of the WHO technical unit and the intern’s availability. WHO internships are not paid and all costs of travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the candidate.
