History

In 1999, under the Director-Generalship of Gro Harlem Brundtland (1998–2003), the Bulletin of the World Health Organization was given its current title, and subsumed two other WHO periodicals: the World Health Forum, which published accounts of field work and was oriented towards primary health care, and the World Health Statistics Quarterly (journal abbreviation Wld hlth statist. quart.; French: Rapport trimestriel de statistiques sanitaires mondiales, journal abbreviation Rapp. trimest. statist. sanit. mond.[5][6]), which mainly published epidemiological data; the latter was previously known in English as the World Health Statistics Report.[7]
