The World Health Organization (WHO) is the UN’s specialized agency responsible for international public health. It leads global efforts in disease prevention, health policy development, and medical research coordination.

This committee’s agenda item highlights one of the most pressing health threats of our time. The growing resistance of bacteria and other microbes to existing treatments poses a serious risk to global health security, making once-treatable infections potentially deadly. AMR undermines modern medicine, jeopardizing routine surgeries, cancer therapies, and infectious disease control. In this committee, delegates will engage in productive debates to explore the global impact of AMR and seek feasible, collaborative approaches to prevent its spread and reduce its threat across nations.
