GENEVA: The World Health Organisation´s member states on Tuesday adopted a landmark Pandemic Agreement on tackling future health crises, after more than three years of negotiations sparked by the shock of Covid-19.
The accord aims to prevent the disjointed responses and international disarray that surrounded the Covid-19 pandemic by improving global coordination and surveillance, and access to vaccines, in any future pandemics.
“With this agreement we´re better prepared for a pandemic than any generation in history,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the decision-making annual assembly in Geneva.
