The World Health Organization (WHO), founded in 1948, is a specialized agency that connects nations, partners and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable. WHO prioritizes efforts to universalize global health coverage and defines health to include mental and social well-being as well as physical health.
Mental health problems are increasing across societies and affect all segments of the population. In this committee, delegates will address the rise in mental health problems, discuss their causes, and propose solutions to ensure mental health services are more accessible globally.
