Currently, W.H.O. operates at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland and its six regional offices and 150 field offices worldwide. In the case of this specialized committee, delegates will act in a primitive form of the organization in which they will address a major health crisis.

The date is currently XX, XX, 1346, and a strange epidemic is beginning to arise within Europe. Rising numbers of individuals are suddenly developing chills, headaches, sudden weakness, with swelling spotted in clusters throughout the neck, chest, and other regions amongst afflicted cadavers. Cases are soaring exponentially in the Eurasia area, distinguished through preliminary research suggesting correlations between bites from fleas, rodents, and exposure to infected individuals. Distressed citizens also appear to have developed psychological symptoms, raising concerns amongst neighboring communities as cases expand along trading routes. Inevitably, concerned medicinal practitioners, government officials, religious figures, merchants, high-ranking officials and citizens’ representatives have agreed to come together. The aim of the gathering? Encompassing the heterogeneous group of individuals collaboration to identify the cause of the spread, preventing further escalation while providing assistance for the ill, lest the whole of Europe face ruin at the hands of what will be known as the Black Plague.
