ڊبليو ايڇ او جو ڊائريڪٽر جنرل G20 صحت ۽ ناڻي واري وزيرن جي اجلاس کي خطاب ڪري رهيو آهي

Overcoming supply barriers is the central focus of the Multilateral Leaders Task Force on Scaling Covid-19 Tools – and I thank Kristalina, David and Ngozi for their partnership and leadership.

But we need your help.

We need those countries that have already reached the 40% target to swap your vaccine delivery schedules with COVAX;

We need those countries that have made generous pledges to donate vaccines to fulfil those pledges urgently;

We need those countries that produce vaccines to allow free cross-border flow of finished vaccines and raw materials, and to facilitate sharing of know-how, technology, licenses and IP;

And we need manufacturers to prioritize and fulfil their contracts with COVAX and AVAT as a matter of urgency.

ايستائين جو اسان هن وبائي مرض کي ختم ڪرڻ لاءِ وڙهون ٿا ، اسان کي لازمي سبق سکڻ گهرجي اهو اسان کي سيکاري رهيو آهي ۽ ايندڙ لاءِ تياري ڪريون.

We can take the steps now to prepare for that virus, to detect it and to respond rapidly when it arrives.

پوء اسان کي ڇا گهرجي؟

First, governance.

High-level threats need high-level political engagement, so we urge you to support the establishment of a Health Threats Financing Board.

Likewise, we seek your support for a legally-binding international agreement on pandemic preparedness and response, at the Special Session of the World Health Assembly next month.
