Country: France

The problem of the constant flow of tourists in the EU countries affects the vulnerable segments of
the population, most of the budget is spent on the development of tourism infrastructure and
business development. The flow of tourists contributes to the spread of diseases such as dengue,
chikungunya and Zika.

2. Identify moderated caucus topics and write them down.

1.Disease-carrying mosquitoes are spreading through Europe. Tiger mosquitoes are now found in
more than half of France. A2020 report by the French parliament warned their spread poses "a
major health risk" for decades to come. The fight against tiger mosquitoes has taken a more serious
turn in Asian regions where they’re endemic. Experiments aiming to infect them with a specific type
of bacteria and sterilise the females have yielded encouraging results in China.

5. Write your opening speech below.

Committee: WHO

Agenda: Combating and controlling the spread of contageous diseases (infections)

Country: France

Delegate: Aueleisina Aidana

Honorable Chairs, fellow Delegates,

The French Republic recognizes the importance of

combating and controlling the spread of
infectious diseases and is committed to
working with the World Health Organization and
other countries to address this critical issue. As a
delegate for the French Republic, I would like to share
our policies and initiatives aimed at preventing
infections and reducing antibiotic resistance.

France has developed a comprehensive National Strategy for Preventing Infections and
Antibiotic Resistance for the period 2022-2025, which focuses on four key areas:
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and research. However, despite our efforts, we still face
significant challenges in the fight against infectious diseases, and we recognize the need
for global cooperation and coordination.

One of the main problems we face is the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. This leads to
the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which pose a severe threat to public
health. To address this issue, France has implemented a national campaign to reduce the
use of antibiotics and promote responsible use. We have also established a national
surveillance system to monitor antibiotic resistance and promote appropriate prescribing
practices.

Another problem is the spread of infectious diseases in vulnerable populations, including

refugees, migrants, and people living in poverty. France recognizes the need to provide
equitable access to healthcare and ensure that vulnerable populations have access to
preventive measures, such as vaccination campaigns and education on hygiene and
sanitation.

In terms of policy initiatives, France supports increased funding for research and
development of new treatments and vaccines for infectious diseases. We also advocate for
the implementation of global strategies to prevent and control outbreaks of infectious
diseases, such as the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of
Noncommunicable Diseases.

Thank you.
