### 1/5 — The World Health Organization is no longer a reliable source.

*2022-11-26, version 5.1.6*

How many years will it take the WHO to provide reliable information? As of this date, 11/26/2022, WHO has failed to provide basic oral and nasal care as part of its protocol for controlling and/or treatment of COVID.

My father brushed his teeth and gargled with Listerine at least twice per day, every day. During his 40+ years of work in the Grocery Business, he very rarely missed a day due to illness.

In addition, he had a handkerchief in his back pocket at all times and used it when he felt a cough or sneeze coming on.

Simple solutions that for some reason the “scientists” at WHO do not seem to understand. They seem more interested in locking people down and taking their rights away from them than solving practical problems in health care.

### 4/5 — Excelente, pero aún tiene algunos bug

*2020-08-24, version 5.0*

La aplicación para informar al personal médicos y guardar documentación esta genial. Pero aún presenta algunos errores, cuando llega una nueva información, aparece el icono rojo en las tarjetas pero al buscar esa supuesta nueva información no aparece señalada en negrita y tampoco aparece de primera como debería ser, imposibilitando encontrar la nueva información y tampoco borrándose la notificación.

### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2020-07-05, version 4.0*

Me gusta mucho esta app, me ha ayudado bastante con información sobre Covid-19

### 5/5 — Best Source for Health Information

*2020-07-02, version 4.0*

The WHO Academy application is great step forward to reach out to healthcare workers around the world with reliable training materials and sources of information. Myself and my colleagues find this app on the top of the applications list to join webinars and advance our healthcare practice.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2020-06-22, version 3.1*

Who is the chinese health organization

### 5/5 — Timely and full of info

*2020-05-15, version 1.0*

I was delighted to learn this was available.

### 1/5 — Please enhance the accuracy of Chinese translation!

*2020-05-14, version 1.0*

Please enhance the accuracy of Chinese translation! When choosing a country in "location preference" in Chinese, there are many errors in the name translation of other countries. The most typical mistake is that you translated Turkey into animal Turkey.

### 5/5 — Whoa! is it right

*2020-05-11, version 1.0*

This is a great resource for health worker trainees worldwide. It aggregates lots of evidence that would otherwise be difficult to find quickly. It uses a straightforward and appealing organisational system. It has great potential for educators. The acronym WHOA is perfect - slow down and pay attention to this app!
