addressing disparities in healthcare:

The UN World Health Organization was officially established in April of 1948 as a result of the 1945 United Nations Conference held in San Francisco, where a global health organization was proposed. The idea of the World Health Organization is to focus on primary health care, especially improving access to quality essential services, as well as training the health workforce and advising labor policies, and improving access to essential medicines and health-related products. In light of the new digital age, the WHO also focuses on technological innovations and its direct effect on healthcare outcomes. This dual-delegation committee, conducted in the General Assembly procedure, will allow delegates to simulate the events of the World Health Organization and collaborate in order to help improve medical access and equality through the use of technological innovations.

Delegates will have the opportunity to collaborate thoroughly, intentionally, and creatively to help innovate the worlds of healthcare and technology to provide more equitable standards of care for all.
