Abstract: From May 5 to 22, 1952 the Fifth World Health Assembly met in Geneva. In his opening remarks, Dr. Leonard A. Scheele, president of the Fourth World Health Assembly, summarized events during the first four years of the World Health Organization and stressed the central importance of the problems of the education of public health and related personnel and personnel shortages to the accomplishment of WHO's aims.1 The remainder of the first plenary meeting was devoted to speeches by representatives of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the World Meteorological Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization, who stressed the need for cooperation between their respective organizations and WHO. Dr. Juan Salcedo (Philippines) was elected president by acclamation at the second plenary meeting. On May 6, the Assembly voted to admit the United Kingdom of Libya to membership in the organization, and on May 12, Tunisia and Morocco were admitted as associate members, subject to notice of acceptance of associate membership on their behalf.
