On April 7, 1948—right before the three-year anniversary of the United Nations’ formation at the San Francisco Conference—the UN launched a new specialized agency entrusted with enabling the “attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.” (WHO Constitution) That agency was the World Health Organization (WHO), the authority for the oversight and coordination for all international health work, ranging from the suppression of deadly communicable diseases to the improvement of all peoples’ everyday physical, mental, and social well-being. From its eradication of smallpox in 1980 to its unanimous adoption of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in 2003, the WHO has had some renowned success stories. Nevertheless, it continues to face numerous obstacles today, whether related to ongoing epidemics like malaria and HIV/AIDS or its own bureaucratic structure. Delegates are charged with addressing such obstacles through constructive debate and dialogue, with which they will formulate innovative solutions that will ideally empower countless persons worldwide to live lives that are as long as they are fulfilling.
