Extract
The Second World Health Assembly met in Rome from June 13 to July 2, 1949 under the presidency of Dr. Karl Evang (Norway) and approved the program, policies and budget of the World Health Organization for 1950. Adopted by the Assembly and subsequently approved by the Executive Board was the regular budget of $7,893,000 of the usual contributions of member governments and a supplementary budget of $9,152,520 to be raised on a voluntary basis from member governments and used not only to extend the projects covered by the regular budget but to include projects under the United Nations technical assistance program for under-developed areas. By mid-summer Yugoslavia, Ceylon, the Dominican Republic, India and the United States had indicated their willingness to make contributions to the supplementary budget.
