"At this year World Health Assembly, we are urged to end this [#COVID19] pandemic, prevent the next one and build a healthier, safer and fairer world. This has to be our agenda."

"We need to attend to the huge divide in the provision of #COVID19 vaccines to the people of the world. Millions of people in wealthier nations have been vaccinated while billions of people in poorer countries still wait & are vulnerable to infection"

"We must increase vaccine production incl. in low & middle income countries. Among other things, we need all countries to support the call for a limited waiver and intellectual property rights as a mechanism to promote rapid, equitable access."
