WHO has 193 Member States, including all UN Member States except Liechtenstein, and 2 non-UN-members, Niue and the Cook Islands. Territories that are not UN Member States may join as Associate Members (with full information but limited participation and voting rights) if approved by an Assembly vote: Puerto Rico and Tokelau are Associate Members. Entities may also be granted observer status - examples include the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Holy See (Vatican City).

The Republic of China (Taiwan), which was in effect expelled from the UN in 1971 (and from the WHO a year later), has been actively campaigning for observer status under the name "Taiwan Health Entity", against the will of the People's Republic of China, which replaced the ROC in the WHO in 1972 and sees the participation of Taiwan as violation of its One-China Policy. The ROC government contends that the PRC does not represent the interests of the people on Taiwan and that non-state entities such as Niue are members.
