The World Health Organization has adopted a legally binding pact aimed at improving global preparedness for future pandemics, particularly after the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The agreement focuses on enhancing international coordination, surveillance, and equitable access to medications. Despite the applause from WHO member countries, the absence of the United States raises questions about its effectiveness. WHO chief Tedros highlighted the accord as a significant step towards protecting global health and preventing future pandemic-related disarray, emphasizing the need for collaboration among nations.
"We collectively can better protect the world from future pandemic threats thanks to this historic WHO Pandemic Agreement that enhances global coordination and response."
"This agreement is a recognition by the international community that our citizens must not be left vulnerable to the losses endured during COVID-19."
