Public Health Associations: A new organization, the World Federation of Public Health Associations, was formed in Geneva, Switz. The function of this agency was to speed the exchange of information between countries and to complement the WHO by providing more informal channels of communication and the additional stimulus of enthusiasm from voluntary public health associations.
In 1968 the Public Health Service was reorganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug Administration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.
The U. S. public has chosen to meet a sizable part of its medical costs through voluntary or private insurance. A variety of organizations exist to serve these needs.
