Three Important Messages by the WHO for Coronavirus, Sustainable Development and Nest Pandemic
WHO shares three important messages at the 75th UN General Assembly. As countries all over the world gather at the 75th UN General Assembly in an unprecedented virtual way, WHO wants to share three important messages.
The first is fair access to COVID-19 tools
The WHO will call on global leaders at the UN General Assembly to support the “Accelerated Plan for Access to COVID-19 Tools”.
The plan is a unique international collaboration
mechanism that aims to strengthen the health system while rapidly developing,
producing and equitably obtaining COVID-19 testing kits, therapeutic drugs and
vaccines globally.
By concentrating global investment, this plan will allow
countries to obtain more prevention and control tools faster and share risks
and costs together.
Access to the COVID-19 tool acceleration program requires $35
billion to develop, purchase, and distribute 2 billion doses of vaccines, 245
million therapeutic medications, and 500 million test kits.
Compared with the economic impact of COVID-19 and the
domestic stimulus package aimed at maintaining economic stability, the
investment required for a global solution that aims to achieve fair access
pales in comparison.
The fair access mechanism enables all countries to achieve
full recovery by supporting various economic sectors, protecting global value
chains and ensuring long-term global growth.
The second is to maintain the motivation to achieve sustainable development goals
This pandemic is likely to undermine decades of
health and development gains.
According to a recent WHO survey, 90% of countries are suffering from the pandemic’s interference with basic health services.
According to reports, the most frequently disturbed areas include routine
immunization, diagnosis and treatment of non-communicable diseases, family
planning and contraception, treatment of mental health disorders, and cancer
diagnosis and treatment.
COVID-19 is a reminder of why people should invest in
stronger health and data systems rooted in primary health care to achieve
universal health coverage and specific health-related goals in the Sustainable
Development Goals.
The Global Action Plan for a Healthy Life and Well-Being for All is committed to accelerating the efforts of countries to achieve health-related targets in the Sustainable Development Goals with the support of 12 multilateral institutions related to health, development and humanitarian response.
This week, we will learn about the progress made in laying
the foundation for the Decade of Service and Action.
Finally, we must now prepare for the next pandemic
COVID-19 has shown us that despite many warning signs and warnings, the world is still not fully prepared.
At the United Nations General Assembly last year, the Global
Prevention Monitoring Committee issued an early warning of a possible pandemic,
calling on global leaders to take urgent and joint actions to prepare.
What is The Chaotic World report?
Earlier this week, the committee released its 2020 report entitled "The Chaotic World".
This report looks at a world that has
been lost due to lack of leadership and timely action in the fight against
COVID-19. It called for a new commitment to multilateralism and the WHO.
At this session of the UN General Assembly, the WHO will call on all citizens and leaders to support the five actions in the Committee’s 2020 report:
Responsible leadership, citizen participation, strong and flexible health security systems, continuous investment, and strong Global prevention management.
Our actions today will determine our common future.
