Leaders Aim to Unify Global Strategy Against Future Pandemics #

Countries worldwide are in discussions over a treaty to unite against future pandemics and address disparities in access to vaccines and treatments. The treaty negotiations, taking place at the World Health Assembly meeting in Geneva, aim to overcome the nationalist approach seen during the Covid-19 crisis. Public health experts remain mindful of the potential for future pandemics, including emerging pathogens and resurgent diseases. Key sections of the treaty, such as equitable access to vaccines, are yet to be agreed upon, with negotiations expected to continue after the meeting.
