What is the difference between the who and the cdc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One difference: There are a number of differences but the center for disease control and prevention (cdc) is national (us & puerto rico) & the world health organization is international. That does not mean that the cdc does not have involvement in international health issues however.
