As the quote in the title suggests, over almost half a century the WHO invested heavily in procuring photographic material and showcasing it in magazines, newspapers and at exhibitions around the world. Indeed, some of the imagery is likely familiar to the public even today, and will become more so as the WHO celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2023. But historians have been less concerned with the WHO\u2019s output compared to other international organisations such as UNRRA, UNICEF and UNESCO. This seminar will therefore consider why the WHO invested so heavily in photography; what was the material\u2019s purpose; how campaigns were structured and managed; and ultimately what impact the WHO\u2019s media machine had on the image of international health across the second half of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chstm.manchester.ac.uk\/connect\/seminars\/\">CHSTM Research Seminar Programme<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seminar Convenors 2022-23: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.manchester.ac.uk\/portal\/ian.a.burney.html\">Professor Ian Burney<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.manchester.ac.uk\/portal\/neil.pemberton.html\">Dr Neil Pemberton<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=&#8221;off&#8221;
