"The world cannot wait longer to make the changes we need to curb this crisis and avert the next.
To deal decisively with #Covid19 & prepare for future threats requires comprehensive & sustained political commitment commensurate with the existential threat posed by pandemics."

"The impacts of #Covid19 transcend health & require govts & societies to respond as a whole. We recommend that #UNGA hold a Special Session to approve a political declaration on required reforms. A central element should be the establishment of a Global Health Threats Council"
"We must also address the persistent inequality in #vaccine availability and access. It is not right that the richer countries of the world have vaccinated between 50-80% of their population while the poorer countries have hardly achieved 5%"
"The @WHO must continue to play a critical leadership role in #pandemic preparedness and response. We need a stronger WHO with clear authority and with adequate financing"
