WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION
In a world that is increasingly endangered by growing epidemics and all other kinds of threats to global health, the WHO is at the forefront of global health efforts, addressing a wide range of health challenges, from infectious diseases to mental health and beyond. A delegate, if he or she is lucky to have been selected for the WHO will have the opportunity to convene with nations around the table to discuss strategies for improving global health outcomes. Whether it's devising plans to combat pandemics, advocating for equitable access to healthcare, or promoting mental well-being initiatives, the topics on the agenda are both multifaceted and crucial.
Agendas:
Measures to safeguard global Health Security in the face of drastic Development of Biological Warfare Technology
Deliberating upon potential Negative impacts of rapid Advancements in Gene-editing Technology on Human Genomes and its Implications on overall Physical, Mental, and Social Well-being

Navya Luhadia,
Director of WHO
"Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticised anyway."
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Introducing Navya Luhadia, the adaptable, easy-going, intellectual, and ambitious Director of WHO at HFS MUN. With strong leadership qualities and exceptional organisational skills (basically, she's got the planner game on lockdown), Navya is set to lead an outstanding committee. She thrives on mentoring and guiding students, helping them navigate the wild world of international issues, diplomacy, and negotiation skills (think of her as your MUN GPS).
Navya's interests are as diverse as her talents. When she's not directing a committee, you can find her with her nose in a book, dancing to her favourite tunes, or crafting compelling stories through her writing. Her multifaceted personality brings a unique and enriching dynamic to her role as Director (she's basically a one-person talent show).
Navya's primary goal is to ensure that delegates have a high-quality conference experience. She is committed to fostering an environment where rigorous deliberation over agendas takes place and where fresh perspectives from delegates are not only heard but celebrated.
Navya Luhadia is not just the Director of WHO; she is a beacon of inspiration and knowledge (and probably the reason you'll actually enjoy the conference). Her adaptable, easy-going nature, combined with her intellectual prowess and ambition, make her the ideal leader for this committee (like a superhero but with a gavel).

~Harvey Specter from Suits
Charming, composed, and confident. We present to you, the Director for WHO, Harvey Specter… I mean Talin Ram! These two names have become practically interchangeable for us, and I am sure they will be for you too, once you meet him. Being an invaluable part of the Mumbai MUN circuit and having several MUNs under his belt, this seasoned young man will surely make your HFS MUN experience memorable. But that's not all! He has been a victim of going down a rabbit hole of geopolitics and world history (which he says are simply boring hobbies but I believe are entirely study-worthy topics).
When he isn't studying trade relations and alliances between different countries or giving himself an existential crisis over the human race, you will find him behind a computer, trying his hand at editing and video production (just fan edits, or so he claims). This year, for the HFS MUN, he hopes to create a more accessible platform for delegates to debate and express their points effectively. Talin with his adaptable nature knows exactly how to morph and shape into the required mould to ensure that the WHO committee commences without a hitch.
His favourite thing about MUNs isn't the committee itself but the friends he gets to make along the way. This people-person will teach you all about social networking and developing relations with even the most introverted people around (seriously, I am convinced he could sweet talk his way into a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine).
Long story short, Talin Ram is the foolproof Director that WHO needs and so do you! But beware, you may hear some badly placed jokes during a very serious discussion about universal health coverage, but hey that's just Talin!

Assistant Director of WHO

~Harvey Specter from Suits
Harvey Specter is an ace at his job, and Aditya Merchant is an ace at his job watching Suits all day. Uh, I’m sorry! He’s the Assistant Director, who’ll be chairing WHO this year. Aditya likes MUN because he decides his nation’s fate, rather than someone deciding it for him, and in his opinion, Harvey is the only other dude who gets him.
Aditya is driven by ambition, and he is only slowed down when he suffers withdrawal symptoms from Red Bull. Aditya loves public speaking and exercising his leadership skills to guide his juniors. He enjoys debate and is “that IT guy” who loves grinding programs.
But he’s not indoors all the time; no, he devotes his time to competitive swimming as well. He’s also a goal-keeper and the only thing he can’t save is himself from his caffeine addiction. Aditya loves the unpredictable nature of MUNs; he’s seen minor disagreements turn into international conflicts. Don’t worry though, he comes prepared for every eventuality armed with his mental toolkit of world affairs, international law, and a physical kit full of Red Bulls.
Aditya has seen many MUN conferences and there he has witnessed amazing chairs who have inspired him to make an impact this year. He wants to encourage first-time MUNers to achieve their full potential and develop friendships that last forever. Aditya is the best we have as to chair WHO, and he judges and marks delegates accurately unless you buy him a Red Bull. And even if you don’t get Best Delegate, you’ll certainly get your best MUN experience with him in charge.
