"This powerful idea, of a treaty rooted in WHO, has resulted in the joint statement issued today & published in major newspapers around the 🌍 & in multiple languages, which has been signed, so far, by 25 heads of state"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2 #PandemicTreaty

"It is now 425 days since I declared #COVID19 a global health emergency. In that time, the pandemic has brought out the best & worst in humanity. We have seen acts of incredible courage from #healthworkers, & from communities around the world, on a daily basis"-@DrTedros
"But the #COVID19 pandemic has also thrived amid the inequalities in our societies, the geopolitical fault lines in our world, and the frayed trust in our public institutions"-@DrTedros
"It [the #COVID19 pandemic] has exposed the gaps in national, regional and global preparedness and response systems, but also allowed us to identify opportunities to strengthen the international health architecture"-@DrTedros #PandemicTreaty

"The time to act is now. The world cannot afford to wait until the #COVID19 pandemic is over to start planning for the next one. We must not allow the memories of this crisis to fade and go back to business as usual"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2 #PandemicTreaty
"The impacts on our societies, economies and health, especially for the poor and the most vulnerable, are too significant. We cannot do things the way we have done them before and expect a different result. We must act boldly"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2 #PandemicTreaty
"Without an internationally coordinated, all-of-government, all-of-society, One Health approach to pandemic preparedness and response, we remain vulnerable"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2 #PandemicTreaty
"It [the #COVID19 pandemic] has shown how much we need a universal commitment to basic public health principles as the foundation for our work to prevent, detect and respond to epidemic and pandemic threats"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2 #PandemicTreaty
"The idea behind the proposal for #PandemicTreaty is to systematically tackle the gaps exposed by #COVID19. The 🌍 has come together as never before to take on this crisis. We must leverage the new opportunities for 🌍 cooperation & innovation"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2
"#PandemicTreaty would strengthen the implementation of the International Health Regulations, and critically, it would also provide a framework for international cooperation and solidarity"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2
"The key issues #PandemicTreaty would address could include building resilience to pandemics and other global health emergencies, with robust national and global preparedness systems..."-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2
"...
ensuring timely and equitable access to pandemic countermeasures, including vaccines;
supporting sustainable funding and capacity for prevention, detection, and responses to outbreaks;
and promote mutual trust"-@DrTedros #PandemicTreaty

"The #PandemicTreaty, which could be taken forward by the World Health Assembly, would be based on the WHO Constitution, including the principles of #HealthForAll, and non-discrimination"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2
"Ultimately, how such a treaty is developed and what it looks like, and whether it is ratified, is a matter for our Member States – the nations of the world.
We must leave a legacy for our children: a safer world for all"-@DrTedros bit.ly/3u6XIl2 #PandemicTreaty
