Getting the Pandemic Treaty Across the Finish Line

Just as governments are working tirelessly to conclude negotiations on a new pandemic treaty, a torrent of misinformation and fake news has been unleashed to undermine the process. For the sake of current and future generations, policymakers must resist the propaganda and get the job done.

EDINBURGH – A breakthrough toward global cooperation to prevent future pandemics is possible in the next few days. Negotiations on the proposed text of a new global pandemic accord are scheduled to end this Friday, May 10, and discussions on completing and updating international health regulations are scheduled for May 16-17. The plan is to finalize both processes at the 77th World Health Assembly, which starts on May 27.
