Vice Chair Introduction: Dhruv Mandal

Hello delegates!

My name is Dhruv Mandal and I'm honored to be serving as a Vice Chair for the World Health Organization (WHO) this year at conference!

As of right now, I am a freshman studying public health and political science at UC Berkeley and this is my first year with the BMUN organization. When I was in high school in New Jersey, one of my most cherished activities was delegating and chairing with my state's chapter of YMCA Model United Nations, and I am blessed to be able to further my love for international relations in college. Outside of BMUN, I am a caseworker for the Suitcase Clinic, a nonprofit that provides holistic services for the homeless, and I am a volunteer clerk for the Centerforce Youth Court, a leading reentry service provider in San Francisco. 

 Personally, I love the study of medicine and public health because it forces society as a whole to re-evaluate the spread of disease and make necessary upgrades to health infrastructure with the goal of bettering healthcare globally, which is why I'm so excited for WHO's topics and can't wait for delegates to debate them.

Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions at all about BMUN, WHO, or even about Berkeley itself!

I'll see you all at conference, delegates!

The Role of Private International Actors in Public Health

Happy Friday, Delegates! As the deadline for position papers is approaching (quick reminder: they are due next Monday on Feb 5th :D) and it's almost the time for the conference, we would like to provide you with more thoughts on the topic!  This blog, in particular, is a summary of two articles on the role of private international actors in public health: one by Julia Belluz  https://www.vox.com/2015/6/10/8760199/gates-foundation-criticism  and the other by Andy Beckett  https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/24/no-such-thing-free-gift-gates-foundation-philanthropy-review . They both recognize the increasingly important role of the private donors in public health and criticizes its lack of transparency and excessive power of leading the conversation and setting the agenda. The following is a brief summary of the two passages and after reading the passage, you all can think about the role of private entities in the context of our topics and the positions of your countri

Eradicating Neglected Tropical Diseases

Hello Delegates! Great job on your position papers! We've been reading them as they have been coming in and we are extremely impressed with the level of thought and the ideas presented in them. Keep up the good work! Reminder - to be eligible for a committee award, position papers are due by February 12th! Here's a great video which really breaks down the issue of eradicating global diseases, specifically Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). One of the biggest struggles with eradicating NTDs is the fact that they are most often found in isolated communities whose residents do not have proper access to healthcare and preventative measures. This issue is hard to combat, but as can be seen in this video, thanks to the generosity of the pharmaceutical industry, over 815 million people have been treated for various NTDs. Some interesting thoughts to ponder - How do you distribute treatment to isolated communities which lack proper infrastructure? Is it sustainable to have t

Reconstruction in South Sudan

How's it going, delegates! The WHO dais and I know that the time to write position papers has come and that the deadline is approaching very quickly. We also know that it might be difficult to get adjusted to and get thinking about your assigned country's perspective and possible solutions to the exciting committee topics this year. To give you delegates something tangible to think about and brainstorm, I found an excellent article about the need for healthcare and subsequent reconstruction in South Sudan (please note that despite the date of the article, this healthcare struggle is still currently occurring), which is linked here:  https://www.hcs.harvard.edu/hghr/online/securing-health-care-in-war-zones/ Some key questions to consider when reading this article are "How important is healthcare education in my assigned country?", "Is education a feasible solution to healthcare infrastructure issues in my country (if there are indeed any) and why?", and
