Chaotic conditions like in Corona pandemic should not repeat themselves. The WHO member countries have now agreed on a pandemic contract.
The member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) have accepted the pandemic contract. This is intended to prevent panic and chaos such as during Corona pandemic in the event of a new major health emergency. At their annual meeting, the delegations of the member countries accepted the contract without a vote. The conference chair asked whether there were reservations. When nobody reported, he declared the contract for accepted.
Among other things, it regulates an orderly procurement of protective material in the event of a pandemic, better monitoring of diseases in animals and humans, a technology transfer, so that medication and vaccines can also be produced in poorer countries. A new system is also intended to ensure that vaccines are produced quickly and poorer countries are supplied fairly with vaccines. Details for this still have to be negotiated.
