The World Health Organization coordinates programmes aimed at solving health problems and the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health. It works in areas such as immunization, health education and the provision of essential drugs.

The use of the flag of WHO by the collaborating centers is regulated as
follows:
"A WHO flag can be obtained upon request for use by the centre on certain
occasions - and not on a permanent basis - (e.g. on World Health Day, 7 April;
on the occasion of any official event related in some way to the World Health
Organization) and provided it is displayed in conformity with the WHO Flag Code
and Regulations (sent at the same time as the flag)."

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the WHO Flag Code and Regulations.
