World Health Organization members formally adopt landmark pandemic response agreement in a move aimed at streamlining global responses to future outbreaks

The World Health Organization (WHO) has adopted a Pandemic Agreement aimed at improving the global response to future pandemics. The agreement was approved by WHO member countries after over three years of negotiations, sparked by the COVID-19 crisis. It aims to prevent a disjointed response and international disarray by guaranteeing that countries sharing virus samples will receive tests, medicines, and vaccines in return.
The world is safer today thanks to the leadership, collaboration and commitment of our member states to adopt the historic WHO Pandemic Agreement.
The agreement is a victory for public health, science and multilateral action. It will ensure we, collectively, can better protect the world from future pandemic threats. It is also a recognition by the international community that our citizens, societies and economies must not be left vulnerable to again suffer losses like those endured during Covid-19.
It is our duty and responsibility to humanity.
We-as sovereign states - have resolved to join hands, as one world together, so we can protect our children, elders, frontline health workers and all others from the next pandemic.
The WHO has not even come to terms with its failures during covid, let alone made significant reforms.
Instead, it has doubled down with the Pandemic Agreement, which will lock in all of the dysfunctions of the WHO pandemic response.
In a time of growing geopolitical tensions and seismic changes, this agreement is proof that the world is still together.
It is intended to create a rules-based, future-proof system that will stand the test of time. It does not, and will not, undermine the sovereignty of countries.
