Nepal Position paper

Committee: Commission of World Health Organization
Topic: The prevention of the spread of H1N1
Country: Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
Delegate: Danny Lan

Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal says we must concern about the problem of the spread of the H1N1 seriously. Now, there are around 8000 people who die because of the H1N1. We believe that this number will keep increasing. Until 2010, there may be almost 10000 people die in this disease. This disease is very danger and strong, but it is not undefeatable. We can prevent this disaster, but we need your help. Not only the in America, but all states around the world as well. Don’t think that your country definitely will not have any case of H1N1. Because the world is flat, we suggest that every country should have well prepared for any emergency situation.
To make our people know how to prevent the H1N1, we made and announced some few steps of precautionary measures to our people.
1. Wash your hands with soap. Don’t eat anything unless you wash your hands.
2. Cover your Coughing or sneezing with sleeve.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth before you wash your hands.
4. Wear a mask when you are in a airtight area, or public area such as office, or bus stop.
5. Know the signs and symptoms of H1N1, carefully. For example sore throat, muscle aches, joint pain, or weakness.
6. If you are ill - STAY AT HOME.
Until now, in Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, there do not have any case of H1N1. But just like what we said, every country must have some security for the H1N1. So, we need a stable vaccines support from other countries because we don’t have the facility of producing vaccines. A Chinese proverb says, “Unity is strength”. We all have to work together, in this time, in this planet. Otherwise we will fail because of distrust and non-cooperation.
