It is about quickly responding to future epidemics.
“Countries will begin to discuss a global agreement to tackle the pandemic that will help strengthen governance and funding mechanisms, as well as systems and tools that the world needs to prevent, prepare for, and detect epidemics and pandemics,” he said.
For the coronavirus pandemic to end, Ghebreyesus added, 70% of the world’s population must be vaccinated by the middle of next year.
He noted that states should not fear “any censure” for providing information on virus strains, testing and sequencing.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that health threats endanger all aspects of our lives,” he stressed and called on all countries to strengthen their primary health care systems.
The Director General of the World Health Organization also noted that countries must stop violating the principle of equitable access to vaccines.
In his opinion, due to the formation of excessive stocks of vaccines in some countries, the principle of justice has been undermined and ideal conditions have been created for the emergence of the Omicron strain.
“Therefore, the longer the principle of equitable access to vaccines is violated, the higher the risk that the virus will continue to transform, and we cannot predict or prevent these changes. WHO.
