Bring your youth delegate to the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (2024)

Overview

Time to give youth a voice at the Regional Committee!

The WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC) is WHO’s highest decision-making body in the European Region. The annual session brings together ministers of health and high-level dignitaries to shape political commitment and action to improve health in the Region.

If young people are present, they are often only given observer roles or sidelined to side events that do not provide them with a say. We can change this!
