Specialized Committees
Specialised Committees, also known as Intermediate Committees, are smaller than General Assemblies/Beginner Committees and consist of more specific agendas. While Beginner Committees such as WHO focus on broader aspects, Intermediate Committees tend to focus on a more specific aspect of a larger issue. Intermediate committees consist of countries that are heavily involved in the committee’s field; therefore, they are selectively chosen and are unique to each committee.

With the COVID-19 pandemic and ethical implications of health-related topics, this committee looks to be full of engrossing and debatable topics that look towards the past, present, and future of world health.
