Working Language: English

Delegation: Double Delegation

Rules of Procedure: Beijing Rules of Procedure (Motion-oriented)

Digital health technologies are driving a new wave of transformation across global health systems. As WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has emphasized, leveraging digital transformation is key to building resilient health systems. Our main focus includes the following three pivotal sub-themes: coordinating data privacy and security governance, which requires robust digital public infrastructure; establishing frameworks for the attribution of liability and risk-sharing for large language models in healthcare; and bridging the pervasive gap in digital health development to ensure equitable access.

Digital health progress must be firmly anchored in human rights, ensuring that technologies such as artificial intelligence should “shrink rather than enlarge health disparities.” Guided by the extended Global Strategy on Digital Health, the Assembly aims to forge a multilateral consensus to harness technology for advancing universal health coverage, leaving no one behind.

In this committee, delegates are expected to navigate these complexities. Your task is to forge consensus on actionable policies that coordinate data privacy, allocate liability, and ensure equitable access. You are called upon to deliberate and create forward-looking frameworks that will guide the development of digital health, ensuring it remains a safe, fair, and truly global public good.
