The International Office of Public Hygiene (OIPH), also known by its French name as the Office International d'Hygiène Publique (OIHP), was an international organization founded 9 December 1907 and based in Paris, France.[1] It merged into the World Health Organization in 1946.[2][3][4]
It is the world's first universal health organization.[2] Member states exchanged information about the presence and spread of disease, as well as provided recommendations for sanitation.[2] The organization helped restructure public health services in Greece and China in the late 1920s.[2]
