In British usage, the World Health Organization is often referred to as "the WHO," and I'm pretty sure I've seen "the Who" (those Brits consider shouting out capitals rude). For example, from The Economist: "Thankfully, prodding by the WHO and lessons from SARS and avian flu have caused governments to strengthen their disease-surveillance systems, improve communications channels between their health ministries and co-ordinate their stockpiling of drugs."
