ABOUT THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Since the breakout of the COVID-19 Pandemic, seeds of public skepticism towards the medical field have grown in various corners of life. Now, social media takes advantage by advertising unsanctioned and unregulated methods to treat illnesses. While this often occurs in the public eye and can be leveraged to prevent further crises, there are many sectors in medicine that fly under the radar of traditional monitoring and public health systems. Delegates, as the World Health Organization, will identify and address pressing concerns to ensure that people have access to accurate and effective information globally, to ensure they may seek appropriate and safe medical treatment.

Before coming to BU, Michael participated in various activities such as working as a lifeguard for two Summers, and conducting research on phylogenetics!
Michael’s favorite things are Iced Chai, Soulslike games, and reading texts on Political Economy.
