In modern-day society, more illnesses than ever have life-saving treatments. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to them. With nearly 5 million children dying before their fifth birthday globally, the necessity of addressing this global crisis is clear. A vast majority of children’s deaths come from common diseases, such as pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea, which are all curable with access to affordable healthcare. The fact that these diseases are all preventable is especially disheartening given that children face unequal chances of survival based on circumstances beyond their control, including location, socio-economic status, and whether they live in a conflict zone. Each child’s death hinders the development of a nation and exacerbates the cycle of poverty. Additionally, families are left to live with an irreparable void caused by a child’s death, leaving parents and siblings susceptible to PTSD and other mental challenges that make it difficult to provide for each other. Because children carry so much potential, investing in their health and well-being is crucial for a prosperous future. Delegates in this UNICEF committee will collaborate to address the systemic problems that cause inadequate access to medical care and will create sustainable solutions for a healthier world.
