The Department of Health & Human Services is an organization of 190 countries, working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world.
Created in 1945, the DHHS is governed by and accountable to the 190 countries that make up its near-global membership.
The DHHS primary purpose is to ensure the stability of the Department of Health & Human Services system—the system of exchange rates and international payments that enables countries (and their citizens) to transact with each other. The Fund's mandate was updated in 2012 to include all macroeconomic and financial sector issues that bear on global stability.
