The World Health Organisation (WHO) is a specialised agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. It has addressed pandemics (COVID-19, H1N1, Ebola), vaccination campaigns (polio eradication), and universal health coverage. It is crucial in coordinating international responses to health emergencies and promoting universal health coverage, disease prevention, and health equity worldwide.
Agenda: Addressing mental health issues with emphasis on support and intervention for adolescents.
This agenda focuses on the growing global concern surrounding adolescent mental wellbeing. Emotional and psychological challenges among youth are increasing and often remain unrecognized due to stigma, low awareness, and limited access to care. The agenda addresses the rising prevalence of mental health issues and the barriers to support services.
It also discusses integrating mental health support into broader healthcare and education systems to ensure accessibility, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity, while bridging the gap between policy and practice. As of 2025, mental health is a key part of public health, especially as the post-pandemic generation faces academic disruptions, social uncertainty, and digital overload.
