The proposal is stated for the prevention of future pandemic and strengthening global cooperation.
This includes the establishment of access to pathogens, information sharing systems, and the construction of research capacities in different parts of the world. The agreement is also proposed by a global supply chain and logistics network with emphasis on greater resistance and readiness of the health system.
After more than three years of intense negotiations, the WHO member states made a big step forward in efforts to make the world safer than the pandemic, standing in a statement. The agreement is generally considered a victory for the global health agency, at a time when multilateral organizations such as WHO affected by the sharp cuts of foreign financing.
