Director's Letter
Dear Prospective Delegates and Esteemed Colleagues,Thank you for your interest in the American Mock World Health Organization. I am honored to have you all be a part of the first and only AMWHO High School Chapter.This organization was founded at Enloe High School during the 2017-2018 academic year. The Enloe American Mock World Health Organization was founded by three people Sahana Prakash, Shreya Tupakula, and myself. After we all had attended a one-day AMWHO summit, it inspired us to create our own chapter at our very own high school. We hoped that in doing so we would create an opportunity for high schoolers to engage in Model-WHO based activities and develop skills in the areas of global health affairs and diplomatic relations.
With that said, it is my honor to welcome you all as a delegate. I hope to see you at our next Model-WHO session!
-Rohan Deshpande
Founder of the Enloe American Mock World Health Organization
Sincerely,
Dear future AMWHO participants, Thank you for your interest in the American Mock World Health Organization, Inc. I am deeply humbled by the response of students worldwide to the country’s first and only WHO simulation-based nonprofit organization, founded at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014. After my discovery of the Ontario Model World Health Organization (OMWHO) in Toronto, Canada, I attended its conference as the WHO Ambassador for the Republic of Korea. The experience immensely expanded my understanding of global health affairs, diplomatic relations, and the World Health Assembly (WHA), and I understood just how necessary such knowledge was for a future career in global health policy. The United States had never created a model-WHO based organization, inspiring me to take on the challenge of spreading global health learning opportunities for students across the country. Our organization envisions a generation of global health students equipped with the skills and experiences to achieve health for all. To see this vision to fruition, we aim to create experiences that advance the understanding of the WHA. By forming university chapters that conduct model-WHO based activities and conferences, as well as an annual international conference inviting students from all academic fields, AMWHO, Inc. seeks to nurture an interest in global health policy often neglected in a standard health education curriculum. The toolbox of leadership, public speaking, and diplomatic skills are becoming essential for a future global health career, positioning AMWHO as a groundbreaking organization that offers such skills not gleaned from traditional classroom teachings. The AMWHO Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Secretariat, and I are grateful for your interest in our ever-expanding organization. Neha Acharya, AMWHO Founder and Chief Executive Chair

AMWHO Founder and Chief Executive ChairBio
Neha Acharya
Neha grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina studying immunology research prior to attending UNC Chapel Hill for her undergraduate degree. After taking courses on international development and the socioeconomic determinants of health, Neha realized her passion laid elsewhere in the fields of global health policy and health systems strengthening. She formed the American Mock World Health Organization as a junior in the college, and sought to improve the level of global health policy education currently existing in the country. After graduating in 2015, she interned at the World Health Organization’s Gender, Equity and Rights Division, attended the Emory Rollins School of Public Health for her MPH in Global Health, worked at CDC and USAID in Atlanta for two years, and with the U.S. Agency for International Development as a Policy and Governance Fellow. She now works as a Senior Analyst for Abt Associates on the Health Finance and Governance (HFG) Project.
