World Health Organization

Topic A: Addressing the Consequences of Global Heat Waves Trends
​Topic B:​ ​Ensuring Healthcare in Conflict and War Zones
This committee does not follow standard BSBMUN procedure. ​
The WHO (World Health Organisation) is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends.

​The WHO operates in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing landscape. The boundaries of public health action have become blurred, extending into other sectors that influence health opportunities and outcomes.

Chair: Luisa Rasia Montenegro
Greeting, delegates! My name is Luisa Rasia Montenegro, and I am a senior at the Escola Americana de Brasília (EAB). Since I want to work in the medical field, I couldn’t be more excited to be your Chair for the World Health Organization, and I hope you are also looking forward to being in this committee! I am interested in different topics such as art, horror movies, and Japanese culture, so feel free to talk to me if you also take a liking to such things (or if you want to talk about anything else, really). Being my last year in BSBMUN, I want to make this committee the best it can possibly be, so please contact me before hand and approach me during the conference if you have any doubts, concerns, or comments. You can find me at eab201903982@eabdf.br and 61992274202. Welcome to WHO!

Vice-Chair: Jing Jyng Chang
Hello everyone!! My name is Jing Jyng Chang, and I am a senior at the School of the Nations! I am excited to be back for my final edition of BSBMUN. This time, I will be one of your vice-chairs for the World Health Organization committee! MUN has been a passion of mine ever since my freshman year in high school, and I am excited to have the honour of chairing BSBMUN for the second time! It is essential for me that everyone feels comfortable during the debate, having once been a beginner delegate, I know how scary it can be, so I am here to help anyone who feels uncomfortable with their first debate. When I am not chairing MUN debates or dealing with school work, I like to spend my time going out with my friends or playing Overwatch. Like I said before, I want everyone to enjoy their BSBMUN experience, so if you need anything contact me through my email jingjyngchang0508@gmail.com, hope to see you soon!!

Vice-Chair: Isabella Barbosa Marques
Hey delegates! My name is Isabella Marques and I am currently a junior at the American School of Brasilia. I will be one of your chairs for the World Health Organization Committee and this will be my 8th MUN conference. Since my freshman year, MUN’s role in my life has continued to grow and with each conference, I have learned to enjoy it even more. Apart from MUN, you can usually find me either at cheerleading practice, binge-watching a lot of series on Netflix, or snacking on yummy foods. This year, I am hoping for a high level of debate in this committee but above all, for all the delegates to have fun and enjoy the BSBMUN experience! If you have any questions or doubts about the conference, or if you simply just want to chat about Netflix or yummy snacks, please do not hesitate to contact me through my email eab202002336@eabdf.br
