This Soviet Union postage stamp was issued in 1988 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the World Health Organization (WHO). The design prominently features the WHO emblem — the Rod of Asclepius entwined with a serpent set against a world map, framed by laurel branches. The denomination is 35 kopecks, and the bold Cyrillic text highlights the anniversary theme. Issued during the late Soviet period, it reflects global health solidarity and international cooperation. A fine thematic piece appealing to collectors of medical, WHO, and Soviet Union issues.
