World Health Organization Member States have finalized a draft Pandemic Accord

World Health Organization shared a post LinkedIn:

“After over 3 years of negotiations, WHO Member States have finalized a draft Pandemic Accord to make the world safer from future pandemics.

The draft agreement will now be submitted to WHO’s Member States meeting at the upcoming World Health Assembly for consideration and adoption.

Proposals within the text include:

– Boosting global collaboration on prevention and preparedness
– Strengthening health systems and R/D worldwide
– Creating a fair system for pathogen access and benefit-sharing
– Building a skilled global health emergency workforce

The proposal respects national sovereignty – the draft agreement does not provide WHO any authority to direct, order, alter or prescribe national laws or policies, or mandate States to take specific actions.”
