San Staff Member serves as Director-General of Global Model World Health Organization 2024

Recently, Sydney Adventist Hospital staff member Savannah Jamora travelled to Geneva, Switzerland, to visit World Health Organization (WHO) Headquarters and attend the first in-person Global Model World Health Organization Conference (GMWHO). The conference is jointly organised by the WHO and the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA). 
  
The conference consisted of an authentic simulation of the World Health Assembly, led by more than 350 students from over 50 different countries where they were able to partake in the drafting of resolutions addressing some of the most important and pressing health issues that the world faces today. The conference offered delegates an opportunity to come together to discuss these important issues, also giving them a chance to celebrate their unique cultures and diversities. 
  
Savannah served as the Director-General of GMWHO Geneva 2024 and was fortunate enough to spend some invaluable one-on-one time discussing global health with Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization and the principal advisor to the United Nations on matters pertaining to global health. She shared and discussed with Dr Tedros the important mission of Sydney Adventist Hospital and our commitment to wholistic healthcare for our patients and community. 
 
We are very proud of Savannah.   
  
Here is a link to an article published by Savannah providing an overview of the conference and its success.
