Washington, USA Following a meeting focused on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (PPPR) convened by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly during its 78th session, world leaders took a step towards preparing for future emergencies by adopting a political declaration on PPPR.

David Marlow, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Gavi, reacted to the resolution of the UN member states via a statement made available to Legit.ng.

His statement partly reads:

“The sad fact is that we know, as a certainty, that there will be future pandemics. The only question that remains is – will we be better prepared next time? With this declaration, countries have taken an important step towards breaking the panic-neglect cycle and crafting a global framework to support future response. The key now is to translate this into tangible action.

“As recognised in this political declaration, there is a strong need to foster health in climate change adaptation efforts with a particular focus on climate-resilient and people-centred health systems.”
