World Health Organization

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to promoting global public health and coordinating international responses to health crises. In our Model United Nations conference, the WHO committee provides delegates with the opportunity to tackle urgent global health challenges—ranging from pandemic preparedness and vaccine equity to mental health, nutrition, and healthcare accessibility. Delegates will work to develop evidence-based, collaborative policies that balance national priorities with the shared goal of achieving universal health coverage. Through debate and negotiation, participants will gain a deeper understanding of global health governance, scientific policymaking, and the vital role of international cooperation in safeguarding the well-being of all people.
