Topic: Global Vaccine Distribution
The recent COVID-19 pandemic left no corner of the world untouched, and its domino effects continue to linger on a global and local scale – vaccine inequality, overwhelmed healthcare facilities, and border closures driving massive supply chain disruptions and economic downturns are among the many fallen dominos. This year in ECOSOC, we will step into the shoes of the World Health Organization (WHO) and identify the gaps in epidemic and pandemic response strategies, followed by crafting airtight preventative measures. Our goal is to ensure that both developed and developing countries are not only equipped to respond to widespread health emergencies swiftly but are also prepared to prevent the re-emergence of outbreaks, ultimately safeguarding global health security.
