"The member nations of the World Health Organization have drafted a pandemic treaty to enhance global responses to health crises, particularly following the Covid-19 pandemic."
"The treaty aims to shift responsibilities so that wealthier nations must share pathogen information and healthcare technology with poorer countries."
After three years of negotiations, the World Health Organization's member states have reached a draft pandemic treaty aimed at enhancing global health crisis preparedness. The treaty is a response to the inequities highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly poor nations' limited access to vaccines. It mandates that wealthier nations share vital health data and technological resources with lower-income countries. Although the U.S. has withdrawn from the treaty discussions, the agreement signifies a global commitment to health cooperation, emphasizing the necessity of collective action against future pandemics.
