Explanation
The WHO Executive Board comprises 34 members, each designated by a Member State and technically qualified in health, serving three-year terms; it gives effect to the decisions of the World Health Assembly. The Health Assembly itself is composed of delegations from all 194 Member States and meets annually in May at Geneva, so 194 applies to the Assembly, not the Board.
