GENEVA, Nov 8 (Reuters) - The board of the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday nominated China's Margaret Chan to become the new chief of the United Nations agency.

The 193-state WHO's top decision-taking body, the World Health Assembly, will be asked to approve the choice at a special session on Thursday. The assembly has never rejected the board's candidate.
