WHO
Agenda: Integrating mental health into primary health care systems.
The WHO (World Health Organization) addresses global health issues, setting international standards and coordinating responses to health emergencies. In MUN, delegates debate topics like pandemic preparedness, access to essential medicines, health equity, and responses to outbreaks. The committee also reviews policies, supports member states, and collaborates with other UN bodies to strengthen healthcare systems worldwide.
👉 In MUN, this translates into debates, drafting resolutions, proposing reforms, and voting—all centered on advancing global public health.
Founded in 1948, the WHO has become the leading UN agency on international health, with 194 member states working together to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable.
Delegates receive their country assignment and committee placement 4 weeks before the conference. Research packets and training materials are provided to get started.
Delegates research their country's position on the committee topics and write comprehensive position papers, which are reviewed by faculty advisors.
All delegates participate in training sessions to learn parliamentary procedure, resolution drafting, and diplomatic communication strategies.
Debaters engage in moderated and unmoderated caucuses, working to build consensus and draft resolutions on their topics.
Committees vote on draft resolutions, refining and adopting them through collaboration and diplomacy.
