Topic: Mental Health Accessibility in Low-Income Regions

The WHO committee confronts the urgent and often-overlooked crisis of mental healthcare accessibility in low-income regions. Delegates must recognize that mental health is integral to overall health and that existing disparities are exacerbated by lack of funding, trained personnel, social stigma, and inadequate infrastructure. The goal is to devise actionable, culturally sensitive, and sustainable policy recommendations to integrate mental health services into primary healthcare systems. Key discussions will involve strategies for task-sharing and training community health workers, securing essential psychotropic medications in remote areas, and launching effective public health campaigns to combat deep-seated societal stigma. This committee requires delegates to move beyond clinical solutions and explore holistic approaches that address poverty, trauma, and social determinants of mental well-being.
