International Organization

Kind sorts health institutions by the type of body each one is, such as an intergovernmental agency, a hospital or a charity. Wikipedia describes the World Health Organization as "a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN)," a kind distinct from a national health ministry or a private foundation. This dimension separates institutions that hold very different kinds of authority.
