WHO's copyright policy says:

“WHO materials issued under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Intergovernmental Organization (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO) licence ... allows users to freely copy, reproduce, reprint, distribute, translate and adapt the work for non-commercial purposes, provided WHO is acknowledged as the source.”
“The use of WHO materials that are not available under the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence is subject to permission being granted by WHO.”

WHO News RSS

Official WHO News RSS feed for news releases and statements, published as XML without a key. Items include headline, link, summary and publication date.

Required Attribution:

Required: cite WHO as the source using WHO's suggested citation format.

Coverage

English-language news feed (checked copy held 83 items, a wider rolling window than most feeds in this batch); WHO also publishes feeds for other series such as Disease Outbreak News. Rolling current list, not a historical archive.

Verdict

A global-health headline and outbreak-communications trigger, useful alongside WHO's Disease Outbreak News. WHO publishes most of its materials under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO, which allows copying, distribution, translation and adaptation for non-commercial purposes only with WHO acknowledged as the source; content not covered by that licence needs separate WHO permission, and the WHO logo and emblem may not be used without written permission. Keep the feed's own timestamps as a rolling window.
